Özet

Women with epilepsy have a higher risk of having a dysmorphic child. We report on a child exposed prenatally to valproate and carbamazepine presenting with severe bilateral upper limb defect and phenotypic features of fetal valproate syndrome. Anticonvulsant drugs can cause severe birth defects, especially when used in combination.
