Middle Interhemispheric Variant of Holoprosencephaly - Presenting as Non-Visualized Cavum Septum Pellucidum and An Interhemispheric Cyst in A 19-Weeks Fetus.

چکیده
Middle Interhemispheric variant (MIH) is a rare subtype of holoprosencephaly (HPE), also known as syntelencephaly. We present a case of MIH, which was diagnosed as an interhemispheric cyst on antenatal sonography at 19 weeks, but later diagnosed as MIH variant of holoprosencephaly after a postabortal MRI and perinatal autopsy.

An 8-month-old infant presented to our hospital with global developmental delay. MRI brain findings revealed the diagnosis of syntelencephaly (figure, A–C). Syntelencephaly, a distinct subset of holoprosencephaly,1 is a rare brain malformation in which the hemispheric fusion does not occur at rostral forebrain but rather across posterior frontal region; hence the alternative term “middle interh...

We report a case of the middle interhemispheric variant of holoprosencephaly (MIH) with noncleavage of the posterior portion of the frontal lobes and the parietal regions in a fetus at 22 weeks' gestation. To our knowledge, this is the first case of the rare MIH variant to be diagnosed in utero by use of ultrafast MR imaging and one of the few such reports to document gross and microscopic path...

Five patients presented with symptoms related directly to pressure effects from their cavum septum pellucidum with persistent or intermittent obstructive hydrocephalus.

متن کاملMiddle interhemispheric variant of holoprosencephaly associated with diffuse polymicrogyria.
An 11-month-old boy was discovered to have a cleft palate, club foot, hypospadias, and myoclonic seizures. No in utero exposure to teratogens was identified. Brain MR imaging revealed a middle interhemispheric fusion variant of holoprosencephaly, diffuse polymicrogyria, and a hypoplastic brain stem; this was a distinctly unusual association of findings. We hypothesize that an unknown genetic fa...

PURPOSE: To describe the imaging features of a brain anomaly found on studies of three patients, and to speculate on the embryologic basis leading to the development of this abnormality. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Clinical records (three patients) , MR scans (two patients). and CT scans (two patients) of three patients with fusion of the middle portions of the cerebral hemispheres in the presence of...
