Arhinencephaly is a legacy term historically used to describe a severe congenital brain malformation characterized by the absence or underdevelopment of the olfactory bulbs and tracts, often associated with holoprosencephaly spectrum disorders. The modern preferred terminology refers to this condition as part of holoprosencephaly, a group of disorders involving incomplete separation of the forebrain during early embryonic development.
