Abstract:
1 1/2 month old child born to primigravida mother on prolonged carbamazepine therapy presented with recurrent seizures. The child had abnormal facies and was diagnosed to be having arteriovenous malformation with intracranial hemorrhage on neuroimaging. This case suggests that development of arteriovenous malformation in a child with maternal carbamazepine therapy may occur as a part of clinical profile of 'fetal anticonvulsant syndrome'.
