Abstract
We present the prenatal three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound findings in a case of holoprosencephaly and cyclopia at 11 weeks gestation. Only holoprosencephaly with missing cyclopia were initially diagnosed because suboptimal views of the fetal face were obtained with transvaginal two-dimensional (2D) ultrasonography due to fetal position. Chromosomes identified by analysis of a fluid sample from early amniocentesis demonstrated a triploidy (69, XXX), spontaneous fetal demise occurred at 12 weeks and the pregnancy was terminated. This case demonstrated the usefulness of transvaginal 3D ultrasonography in establishing the final diagnosis.
