Abstract

Craniofacial duplication known as diprosopus is a rare congenital disorder whereby parts or all of the face are duplicated on the head. This is a case of a 1-year-old boy referred to our hospital with an extra eye (third eye) on the left side of the head and an abnormally shaped head, which were noticed since birth. Pregnancy and delivery were uneventful. Apart from routine antenatal medication, there was no history suggestive of ingestion of traditional or other medication during pregnancy. No history of smoking during pregnancy and no history of exposure to radiation. The child was born in a rural area to a “nonconsanguineous marriage.” Examination revealed posterior plagiocephaly, a depressed anterior fontanelle, and a bulging posterior fontanelle. There was an extra eye (third eye) in the left temporal region. Radiologic findings showed the presence of two normally situated bony orbits and two extra orbits in the left temporal region. Well-formed globes were seen in the normal orbits while only one of the extra orbits contained a globe. The importance of prenatal diagnosis is emphasized.
一个“三眼”婴儿:部分面部重复病例(独头三眼双足蟾蜍)
颅面复制是一种罕见的先天性疾病,即面部的部分或全部复制在头部。这是一个1岁男孩的病例,他被转诊到我们医院,头部左侧多了一只眼睛(第三只眼睛),头部形状异常,这是从出生起就注意到的。怀孕和分娩都很顺利。除了常规的产前用药外,没有任何病史表明在妊娠期间摄入了传统药物或其他药物。妊娠期无吸烟史,无辐射暴露史。孩子出生在一个农村地区,“非血缘婚姻”。检查发现后斜头畸形、前囟门凹陷和后囟门凸起。左颞区多出一只眼睛(第三只眼睛)。放射学检查结果显示,左颞区有两个正常位置的骨性眼眶和两个额外的眼眶。在正常轨道上可以看到形状良好的地球仪,而只有一个额外的轨道包含地球仪。强调了产前诊断的重要性。
