Holoprosencephaly is a rare and complex congenital disorder that significantly impacts the development of the human brain and occurs due to anomalous signaling interactions between the neural crest and neural ectoderm. This condition is characterized by an incomplete separation of the cerebral hemispheres, resulting in a single, fused forebrain structure during fetal development. Holoprosencephaly leads to a wide spectrum of neurological and physical abnormalities, with its severity varying from mild facial feature abnormalities to severe cognitive and physical impairments. Understanding this condition is crucial for healthcare professionals as they strive to unravel the underlying causes, improve diagnosis, and develop effective treatment strategies for affected individuals. This activity explores the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies for this condition. By gaining a deeper understanding of holoprosencephaly, healthcare professionals can enhance their ability to diagnose, counsel, and provide comprehensive care to affected individuals and their families. This review also highlights the role of an interprofessional team in optimizing patient outcomes through evidence-based practice and interdisciplinary collaboration.
