[Cebocephaly: a severe cerebro-craniofacial malformation. Description of a case].
The paper reports the case of a newborn affected by malformations of the middle parts of the face. The patient was described as cebophalus according to Kundrat's classification because he had a single nostril, hypotelorism and severe brain malformations. Prosencephalia is present in 0.5% of all aborted fetuses but is very rare in live births (0.006%). Survival is extremely short and in this case the patient lived for 12 months. A description of the malformations is given using CT scans.
