Proboscis (anomaly)

Proboscis in Patau syndrome. Cyclopia (a single median eye) is associated with arrhinia (absence of the nose) and proboscis formation above the eye.

In teratology, a proboscis is a blind-ended, tube-like structure, commonly located in the middle of the face. It is commonly seen in severe forms of holoprosencephaly that include cyclopia and is usually the result of abnormal development of the nose.
