Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a rare cerebrofacial abnormality resulting from the complete or partial failure of the diverticulation and cleavage of the primitive forebrain. It has an incidence at birth of 1:16000. . We report a case of a 2600 g newborn female delivered by an HIV-infected mother in whom an antenatal ultrasound scan at 34 weeks' gestation reported features of fetal alobar holoprosencephaly. The neonate was born with cebocephaly, a monkey-like head, and did not survive for more than 30 minutes following delivery by caesarian section despite oxygen therapy.
Alobar HPE with cebocephaly remains incompatible with life. In this resource-limited setting, the diagnosis was made clinically, and only an ultrasound scan was performed to confirm the diagnosis. Chromosomal analysis could have given more information.
前脑无裂畸形(HPE)是一种罕见的脑面部异常疾病,由原始前脑的憩室化和分裂完全或部分失败引起。其出生发病率为1:16000。我们报告一例体重2600克的新生儿女性病例,其母亲为艾滋病毒感染者,妊娠34周时的产前超声扫描报告显示胎儿无脑叶型前脑无裂畸形特征。该新生儿出生时患有鼻眼发育不全、猴头样头部,剖宫产术后尽管进行了氧疗,但存活时间未超过30分钟。
伴有鼻眼发育不全的无脑叶型前脑无裂畸形仍然无法存活。在这种资源有限的情况下,通过临床诊断,仅进行了超声扫描以确诊。染色体分析本可提供更多信息。
