Does anybody have any info about Fetal Dilantin Syndrome??
Question: I'm epileptic and have had 3 kids while taking the anti-convulsant drug dilantin(phenytoin). One of my children just received a possible diagnosis of fetal dilantin syndrome. I want to know more, I don't know much at all about this disorder etc. It's also known as fetal hydantoin syndrome as well. Please help!!! I'm now also very concerned for my other two children as well. Thank you!!!!

Check out this website for the National Fetal AntiConvulsant Syndrome Association. It is based in the UK, but you still might be able to find more info.

According to WebMD:
Fetal Hydantoin Syndrome is a rare disorder that is caused by exposure of a fetus to the anticonvulsant drug phenytoin (Dilantin). The symptoms of this disorder may include abnormalities of the skull and facial features, growth deficiencies, underdeveloped nails of the fingers and toes, and/or mild developmental delays. Other findings occasionally associated with this syndrome include cleft lip and palate, having an unusually small head (microcephaly) and brain malformations with more significant developmental delays.

Fetal Dilantin syndrome
Dilantin is a drug commonly used in the treatment of epilepsy. About one third of children whose mothers are taking this drug during pregnancy have minor face and limb birth defects. A smaller proportion may have growth problems and developmental delay or mental retardation. Cleft lip and heart defects are occasional features.
