  • Title: Chondrodysplasia punctata (CDP) with features of the tibia-metacarpal type and maternal phenytoin treatment during pregnancy.
    Author: Wester U, Brandberg G, Larsson M, Lönnerholm T, Annerén G.
    Journal: Prenat Diagn; 2002 Aug; 22(8):663-8. PubMed ID: 12210573.
    Abstract:
    We describe a 2-year-old boy with chondrodysplasia punctata (CDP). The boy was exposed to phenytoin, in combination with carbamazepine, during pregnancy. There has been previous evidence for a connection between phenytoin exposure during pregnancy and chondrodysplasia punctata. The boy had clinical and some radiological characteristic features of CDP, of the tibia-metacarpal type. We know of no other report on a child exposed to phenytoin during pregnancy who developed CDP of this type.
