Abstract

Herein, we report two cases of holoprosencephaly's rarest manifestations, albeit cebocephaly in the first case, and cyclopia with a probocis in the second. Cebocephaly, (hypotelorism with a single nostril and a blind-ended nose) was present in the first case; a Syrian newborn girl for a 41-year-old mother who works in collecting Capparis spinosa, and cyclopia with skull vault absence and posterior encephalocele in the second case; a Syrian newborn girl for a 26-year-old mother, the parents here where second-degree relatives. Early diagnosis through ultrasound is preferred in such cases and management options should be assessed and discussed with the parents due to poor prognosis. Adherence to pregnancy follow-up programs is essential to detect malformations and disorders as early as possible, especially when risk factors exist. Also, this paper may suggest a potential correlation between C. spinosa and holoprosencephaly. Therefore, we suggest that more research should be done.
