Abstract

Craniofacial dysmorphic feature may occur as isolated findings in otherwise normal individuals or in combination as part of genetic syndrome. Some of the craniofacial dysmorphic features are associated with brain malformations such as holoprosencephaly and agenesis or dysgenesis of the corpus callosum that may be detected by head ultrasonography.
