Abstrakt: This article discusses a rare brain malformation called septopreoptic holoprosencephaly (SP-HPE), which is characterized by incomplete division of the forebrain. The article presents a case study of a 29-year-old pregnant woman who was diagnosed with SP-HPE through fetal neurosonography (NS). The NS revealed thickening of the septum pellucidum (SP) and undivided septum pellucidum leaves, among other findings. This is the first reported case of prenatal diagnosis of SP-HPE using NS, as previous cases have been diagnosed postnatally. The article highlights the challenges of prenatal diagnosis for SP-HPE and the importance of NS in detecting this condition. [Extracted from the article]
