Holoprosencephaly ranges in severity based on the degree of anatomic abnormality. Middle interhemispheric variant of holoprosencephaly is a less common and often milder variant that has the characteristic sonographic findings of an absent cavum septum pellucidum and a single fused ventricle. This subtype may be associated with genetic conditions that have not been well-described in the literature. We present two cases of middle interhemispheric variant of holoprosencephaly diagnosed on fetal ultrasound.
