cyclocephaly


cy·clen·ceph·a·ly

, cyclencephalia (sī'klen-sef'ă-lē, -se-fā'lē-ă), Condition in a malformed fetus characterized by poor development and a varying degree of fusion of the two cerebral hemispheres. Synonym(s): cyclocephaly, cyclocephalia [cyclo- + G. enkephalos, brain]
The presence of a single, large centrally located eye—which may be a non-functional, if present, proboscis—and a single upper front incisor. It is caused by a failure of the embryonic prosencephalon to properly divide the orbits of the eye into two cavities, possibly related to a defect in cholesterol transport
