| Popis: | Cebocephaly is a very rare craniofacial abnormality defined by a tubular nose with a single median nostril and ocular hypotelorism noted almost exclusively in association with alobar holoprosencephaly. Because of the additional presence of a median cleft lip, this case report may represent a transitional form of facial dysmorphism in the well-established spectrum of facial defects associated with holoprosencephaly. Three-dimensional (3D) sonographic evaluation of this condition allows for the opportunity to reconstruct the imaging planes not obtainable by traditional 2-dimensional (2D) scanning. Volume slicing is particularly useful in the interrogation and diagnosis of the intracranial and facial anomalies characteristic of cebocephaly. This technique allows for the manipulation of the slice depth and thickness to optimize depiction of the targeted intracranial and facial structures. |
