Phenytoin Embryofetopathy

This case report presents an 8-year-old child born to an epileptic mother with a history of AED therapy, with features suggestive of FHS. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This case report is presented to illustrate a less common orthopodic manifestation of fetal hydantoin syndrome, namely hip dysplasia. CASE REPORT A 23-year-old adopted man presented with a 15-year history of increasing right hip pain. [healio.com]

Present On Admission POA Help "Present On Admission" is defined as present at the time the order for inpatient admission occurs — conditions that develop during an outpatient encounter, including emergency department, observation, or outpatient surgery [icd10data.com]

  • Failure to Thrive

    Failure to thrive, learning disability, and reduction of intellectual ability in infants with FHS are the area of greatest concern. [jisppd.com]

    Later there may be continued failure to thrive and developmental and behavioral disorders. Figure 3.2. This infant, age 6 weeks, was born to a mother with severe, chronic alcoholism. There was failure to thrive and hypotonia. [rrnursingschool.biz]

    Developmental Problems:Infancy-failure to thrive; growth deficiency; tremulous; irritable; unable to modulate environmental input. Childhood-short attention span; developmental delay; speech delay; motor incoordination. [carolguze.com]

  • Limping Gait

    However, these symptoms may vary in individual patient. [6] Since the patient's family was not willing for extensive investigations, it was assumed from the limping gait that there could be a skeletal deformity in the hip joint. [jisppd.com]

  • Foot Deformity

    Less common manifestations of the syndrome include small head, coloboma, brachycephaly, strabismus, and positional foot deformities. Causes The main cause of the syndrome is phenytoin exposure of the fetus. [dianamossop.com]

  • Hirsutism

    Varied malformations due to hydantoin intake during pregnancy include digit and nail hypoplasia, growth retardation, typical facial appearance, rib anomalies, abnormal palmar creases, hirsutism, and low hairlines. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Digital hypoplasia, irregular ossification of the distal phalanges with nail dystrophy, coarse profuse scalp hair, hirsutism, short neck, abdominal hernias, cardiac abnormalities, and pilonidal sinus also have been associated with maternal ingestion of [healio.com]

Differential Diagnosis The differential diagnosis for FASD includes a variety of chromosomal abnormalities, exposure to other teratogens, and behavioral and psychiatric diagnoses ( Table 4 ). 2, 22 – 28 If the diagnosis is uncertain, the workup should [aafp.org]

Treatment may require the coordinated efforts of a team of specialists. [en.wikipedia.org]

To chalk out the treatment plan pediatricians, neurologists, plastic surgeons, oral surgeons, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals need to work together for systematic and comprehensive treatment. [medicalfoster.com]

Other treatment is symptomatic and supportive. [1] Last updated: 8/10/2011 [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Parents should talk to their children’s physician and medical team about their specific case, associated symptoms and overall prognosis. Affected infants may be small at birth due to growth deficiency during development (prenatal growth deficiency). [rarediseases.org]

Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]

The etiology of birth defects in epileptic women is likely due to many factors including genetic disorders in the mother associated with epilepsy and the potential for teratogenesis due to exposure to anti-seizure medications. [hawaii.edu]

Supplement of GSH, modification of CuZn-SOD enzyme activity and reduction of the absorption of copper may prevent the incidence of fetal hydantoin syndrome during pregnancy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
