Abstract: Two cases of cyclopic malformations are described among 450 infants of diabetic mothers during a period of four years. Both died within 30 min. of birth. Both belonged to unrelated Libyan families with absent consanguinity and family history. No chromosomal defect was found in either. A possible etiological association with uncontrolled maternal diabetes is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
