Highlights

  • Cyclopia syndrome is a rare disorder of holoprosencephaly that occurs with birth defects

  • Cyclopia syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that has been reported in only a few cases in the medical world, and most are preserved at the vrolik Amsterdam Museum of Medicine in the Netherlands (Figure 2) [1]

  • In 2006, a baby girl in India was born with cyclopia syndrome who died a day after giving birth

Cyclopia syndrome is a rare disorder of holoprosencephaly (fracture of the brain in the fetus) that occurs with birth defects. In this disease, the orbit of the eye is divided into two very close caverns, with either the monocular organism being seen or the binoculars being closely related.
