Abstract
The fetal hydantoin syndrome exhibits a multisystem pattern of abnormalities including distal phalangeal hypoplasia, craniofacial malformations, mental retardation, and other defects occurring in some newborn infants exposed in utero to the hydantoin group of anticonvulsive drugs. Hand abnormalities serve as a warning signal of more severe associated anomalies.
