Presentation
Presentation and outcome are variable Seizures Hemiparesis Developmental deficits Usually, the severity of symptoms is related to the amount of brain affected by the abnormality 5. [slideshare.net]
Conclusion From this it is concluded that central nervous system anomalies may present as poor apgar score at birth and subsequently global development delay. [omicsonline.org]

Present On Admission POA Help "Present On Admission" is defined as present at the time the order for inpatient admission occurs — conditions that develop during an outpatient encounter, including emergency department, observation, or outpatient surgery [icd10data.com]
Face, Head & Neck
-
Narrow Nose
Signs may include closely spaced eyes, depressed and narrow nose or an almost normal looking face. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Neurologic
-
Tonic Posturing
The child developed seizures from the day two of life and required three anticonvulsants namely phenobarbitone, valparin and levetiracetam but still having intermittent tonic posturing. There was gross global developmental delay. [omicsonline.org]

They may have neurodevelopmental issues. [11, 12, 13, 14, 15] Workup Prenatal diagnosis options include karyotype analysis, microarray testing, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
While there is no cure for HPE, treatment is symptomatic and supportive. [texaschildrens.org]

Treatment of hydrocephalus may improve developmental and functional outcomes and reduce irritability. Seizures/epilepsy - About 40% of children with HPE have epilepsy that requires treatment. [health.state.mn.us]
Facial nerve paralysis can result in devastating consequences like deficiency of facial expression, impaired speech and ocular complications; therefore, its early detection has a critical impact in treatment. [posterng.netkey.at]
Prognosis
Timely neuroimaging can make the diagnosis and thus the prognosis. [omicsonline.org]
Last updated: 3/9/2018 What is the prognosis for holoprosencephaly? The prognosis depends on the sub-type. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Treatment and prognosis The prognosis is dependent on the type of HPE with almost all alobar and semilobar forms incompatible with extrauterine life. There may be recurrence risk for 6% with non chromosomal sporadic HPE. [radiopaedia.org]
Prognosis Prognosis depends on severity and the associated complications. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]
Alobar and semilobar have poor prognosis while lobar has variable mental impairment [ 9 - 11 ]. Our case was lobar type of HP diagnosed on cranial ultrasound and confirmed by MRI examination. [casereports.in]
Etiology
Sometimes called false porencephaly, such cases are better labeled by their etiological cause if this is known, e.g. post-traumatic or post infarction cerebral cavities 46. Porencephalic cavities or clefts can be identified or suspected by ultrasound [slideshare.net]
Etiology The etiology is very heterogeneous: from chromosomal abnormalities (such as trisomy 13), known syndromes (such as Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome, Charge syndrome) (see these terms) to environmental factors (maternal diabetes or hypocholesterolemia [orpha.net]
The etiology of HP is heterogeneous. Most cases occur sporadically and have a normal karyotype. However, the disorder can be associated with a variety of chromosomal abnormalities such as trisomy 13, ring chromosomes and deletions [ 1, 4 - 6 ]. [casereports.in]
The etiology is often unknown, but is believed to be multifactorial e.g. genetic predisposition exposure to environmental factor. [quizlet.com]

Pathophysiology
Active research into the pathophysiology of holoprosencephaly has revealed multiple teratogenic and genetic causes (chromosomal and single gene); further genetic characterization is ongoing. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
This DNA vaccine has the potential to be a safe and effective therapy to prevent Alzheimer disease. He described Machado-Joseph disease (MJD), an autosomal dominant ataxia, with William Nyhan, M.D. Ph.D, in 1976, for the first time. [books.google.com]
