Retroflexion of the hypoplastic fused cerebrum is a rare condition in holoprosencephaly. We describe a new case of this entity in a 7-year-old boy with alobar holoprosencephaly whi developed retroflexion of the holosphere 7 years after a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt was placed. The radiological findings revealed retroflexion of the cerebrum anchored to the cranial vault between the precerebral space and the dorsal sac, which were open to each other. In patients with holoprosencephaly, the possibility of retroflexion of the holosphere should be considered after placement of a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt for associated hydrocephalus.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain).

D016142 Holoprosencephaly Anterior midline brain, cranial, and facial malformations resulting from the failure of the embryonic prosencephalon to undergo segmentation and cleavage. Alobar prosencephaly is the most severe form and features anophthalmia; cyclopia; severe INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY; CLEFT LIP; CLEFT PALATE; SEIZURES; and microcephaly. Semilobar holoprosencepaly is characterized by hypotelorism, microphthalmia, coloboma, nasal malformations, and variable degrees of INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY. Lobar holoprosencephaly is associated with mild (or absent) facial malformations and intellectual abilities that range from mild INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY to normal. Holoprosencephaly is associated with CHROMOSOME ABNORMALITIES.
