Shown are the face and reconstructed brain of a control GD 17 fetal mouse along with the faces and brains of ethanol-exposed fetuses having semilobar and alobar holoprosencephaly (HPE). As compared to the control face (a), those fetuses with HPE (b–f) have varying degrees of midfacial abnormality; each presenting with a long (from nose to mouth) upper lip, a small nose with closely-set nostrils, and micrognathia (narrow, pointed chin), the latter of which is severe in the specimens shown in (b) and (f). Segmented MRM scans of control (g, m, s) and ethanol-exposed fetuses (h–l, n–r, t–x) were reconstructed to yield whole brain (frontal view, g–l; dorsal view, m–r) and ventricular system (s–x) images. Notable forebrain abnormalities include varying degrees of olfactory bulb deficiency and rostral union of the cerebral hemispheres, accompanied by dysmorphic lateral ventricles. From a dorsal view, the mid- and hindbrain and their ventricles appear relatively normal in all of the affected fetuses. Color codes for the segmented brain regions are shown at the bottom of the Figure.
