Abstract
A teenage mother gave birth to a baby with multiple congenital abnormalities including alobar holoprosencephaly (where the brain does not develop into left and right lobes), cleft lip/palate, severe gastro-esophageal reflux, failure to thrive, and seizure disorder. The baby's young parents each lived with their own parents, and refused to make medical decisions or communicate with the medical team.
