Cyclopia is a rare congenital fetal anomaly, characterized by a single median eye and a grotesquily shaped nose(proboscis) that arises from the supraorbital area. It is consistently associated with serere holoprosencephaly, which is the failure of cleavage of the prosencephalon with a deficite in the midiline facial development. Holoprosencepphaly occurs in as many as 1 to 2 % of diabetic mothers. A case of cyclopia delivered from a diabetic mother is presented with a brief review of literatures.

Methods: Subjects were selected from households, mothers and childrren. Combined quantitative-qualitative methods was applied for households. Results: Food insecurity was still experienced by the households; poor infrastructure system, health environment services, personal hygiene and care, especially in Dak Rong. LBW rates and child malnutrition prevalences of 3 forms were high. CED rate of mothers with children under five was not so high, but significantly related to the child underweight. Conclusion: LBW rates and pediatric malnutrition prevalences of 3 forms were very high in Dak Rong and the poor households found more likely to be the consequence of high CED rate of mothers, household food insecurity, poor health-environment services, personal hygiene and care (underlying fators), poor infrastructure system and education level, especially in Dak Rong (basic ones).
