Abstract

Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a congenital malformation of the brain resulting from the failure of the forebrain to divide into two cerebral hemispheres. We present the case of a 43-day-old patient with a history of cleft lip and palate who consulted with a history of apnea episodes and tonic-clonic seizures. She was managed in the pediatric emergency, treating her for convulsive syndrome and pneumonia. She is admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit for management. Cerebral TAC showed the anomaly.
