Anat Histol Embryol. 2006 Jun;35(3):152-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1439-0264.2005.00639.x.

Abstract

In this report, an atypical form of cyclopia is described in a stillborn Brown Swiss cross male calf. The changes were confined to the head. The most significant malformation was the presence of a median orbita-like opening that did not contain an eyeball. Other defects included prosencephalic aplasia, brachygnathia superior and arrhinia. The possible cause of this congenital defect could not be ascertained.
