Abstract
Cyclopes are rare congenital abnormalities; a severe form of holoprosencephaly resulting in children being born with just one eye. It results from failure of the cerebral hemisphere to separate during fetal development. The incidence is 1 in 13,000 live births but present in 1 in 2500 pregnancies that end up as miscarriage. It is incompatible with life. In this report we present a Cyclops delivered via cesarean section on account of ante partum hemorrhage secondary to placental previa type 11a.
