          Abstract

          L'holoprosencéphalie est une malformation cérébrale rare, d’étiologies multiples et souvent associée à des anomalies faciales évocatrices. Cette pathologie, résultant d'un défaut de développement précoce du prosencéphale, est de pronostic fœtal extrêmement réservé en particulier pour la forme alobaire. Nous rapportons à travers ce cas clinique, une holoproséncéphalie alobaire diagnostiquée à l'imagerie (ETF, tomodensitométrie) et relevée par un syndrome polymalformatif chez un nouveau-né de 03 mois.

            [Medial cleft lip: one diagnosis masking another].

            Median cleft lip and palate are one of the facial manifestations of holoprosencephaly, a brain malformation resulting from a defect in the development of the prosencephalon, the embryonic precursor of the forebrain. It can occur in isolation or as part of a broader pattern of malformation in many different syndromes. The diagnosis of holoprosencephaly requires a complete malformative assessment. a newborn baby seen at birth for a median cleft lip associated with a complex craniofacial malformation. The search for malformations revealed the absence of the median cerebral structure and trisomy 13. The baby died at 48 h. A 28-day-old newborn baby consulting for a median cleft lip and palate. The brain ultrasounds showed no anomalies of the median cerebral structure. The malformative assessment revealed no other malformation. Holoprosencephaly is a complex developmental brain malformation. From the advances in neuroimaging and genetics, our understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of this condition has advanced dramatically. This advance should lead to improved management of common medical complications and more optimal family counseling. Surgical treatment is the preferred therapy for viable malformations.

              [Holoprosencephaly with neurogenic hypernatremia].

              Semi-lobar holoprosencephalies can be seldom complicated by neurogenic hypernatremia, which must be distinguished from other causes of hypernatremia. In two admitted children with semi-lobar holoprosencephaly, 7 months and 4 years old, biological data revealed chronic hypernatremia and hyperosmolarity without clinical signs of dehydration, which were finally attributed to a neurogenic hypernatremia. Neurogenic hypernatremia must be clearly differentiated from other causes of hypernatremia since it never causes specific complications.
