Abstract

We report a case of a 24-week-old fetus with cerebral anomalies suggestive of lobar holoprosencephaly including an unusual course of the anterior cerebral artery on Doppler examination. This abnormal trajectory of the anterior cerebral artery in holoprosencephalic brains has been described by pathologists, neurosurgeons and radiologists but our case indicates that this finding may be a useful adjunct to confirm such a difficult diagnosis prenatally.
