Popis: Holoprosencephaly, though rare remains the most common forebrain abnormality in humans. This is a report of a patient with multiple craniofacial congenital abnormalities comprising of alobar holoprosencephaly, schicencephaly, encephalocoele and cleft palate. We believe that this report will raise high index of suspicion of physicians who care for children with craniofacial and cerebral congenital abnormalities.
