Cyclopia with a proboscis, a rare congenital anomaly, and a severe form of holoprosencephaly occur as a result of incomplete separation of prosencephalon into two halves of hemispheres during organogenesis. A prenatal anomaly scan can help in the early detection of the condition and timely termination of the pregnancy.
