Lobar holoprosencephaly is the mildest classical form of holoprosencephaly (HPE) characterized by separation of the right and left cerebral hemispheres and lateral ventricules with some continuity across the frontal neocortex, especially rostrally and ventrally.
Features include very common findings: Hypotelorism and Feeding difficulties; and common findings: Median cleft upper lip, Cleft palate, High palate, and Inner ear hearing loss (sensorineural hearing impairment) and others. 72 total HPO annotations.
