| Title : | Holoprosencefalia Semilobar |
| Date : | 2009-11-21 |
| Abstract : | Holoprosencephaly derives from failure of separation of the cerebral hemispheres. In the most severe forms (alobar and semilobar type) there is one undivided cerebral mass that contains a crescent shaped rudimentary ventricular cavity. Severe cranio-facial anomalies (cyclopia, hypotelorism, median clkeft face) are almost the rule. In lobar holoprosencephaly derangement of cerebral anatomy is less pronounced. The etiology is heterogeneous. Autosomal trisomies, trisomy 13 in particular, can be found in the alobar and semilobar varieties. Autosomal dominant transmission with variable penetrance has been documented in some families. Prognosis is uniformely poor. |
