Cyclopia
cyclopia[sī′klō·pē·ə] (medicine) A congenital anomaly characterized by fusion of the eye sockets with various degrees of fusion of the eyes, to the occurrence of a single median eye. Cyclopia a developmental anomaly in humans and animals, in which a single eye is located in the middle of the forehead or two eyeballs grow in a single eye socket. Cyclopia occurs when the primordium of the eye fails to divide normally. It is usually combined with other developmental anomalies. Infants stricken with cyclopia die within weeks after birth.

Synonym(s): cyclopea, synophthalmia, synophthalmus [G. Kyklōps, fr. kyklos, circle, + ōps, eye] 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 transportcyclopia Neonatology The presence of a single, large centrally located eye, which may be accompanied by a single upper front incisor, and is due to a developmental defect related to cholesterol transport.
