  • Title: Congenital hypothalamic hamartoma associated with severe midline defect: a developmental field defect. Report of a case.
    Author: Hennekam RC, Beemer FA, Van Merrienboer F, Van Ketel BA, Kramer PP.
    Journal: Am J Med Genet Suppl; 1986; 2():45-52. PubMed ID: 3146299.
    Abstract:
    We describe a median "cleft" face anomaly (MCFA) with congenital hypothalamic hamartoma in a newborn girl. The MCFA was associated with a frontal midline skull lipoma and a complex congenital heart defect. Possible pathogenetic mechanisms are discussed, and a review of the pertinent literature is given. It is concluded that probably all malformations in our patient are disturbances of a single developmental field defect, ie, the midline.
