Abstract
Three patients are reported, two of whom had mothers who revealed ingestion of abortifacient drugs during pregnancy. All patients resemble one another and those described earlier with malformations that were probably either aminopterin- or methotrexate-induced. It is likely that Patients I and II have abnormalities associated with the teratogenic action of these folic-acid antagonists. The etiology of Patient III's defects remains uncertain.Entities:
