Holoprosencephaly is a rare congenital brain malformation resulting from failure of diverticulation and cleavage of primitive prosencephalon which occurs at 4 - 8^th week of gestation and is usually associated with multiple midline facial anomalies. Herein we report an antenatal case of such patient. Patient was evaluated and because of the magnitude of the problem induction was done which led to a still born baby.
