Abstract

We report a 5-month-old infant with severe growth retardation who was exposed to in utero warfarin for the first 4 months. She had a dysmorphic face with depressed nasal hypoplasia and low-set ears. Cranial computerized tomography revealed bifrontal atrophy, agenesis of corpus callosum, and dilation of lateral ventricles. In addition she had patent ductus arteriosus with pulmonary hypertension, which had to be ligated.
