Anophthalmia in an infant of parents using LSD

Abstract

We have described a unilateral anophthalmia in an infant with normal chromosome studies born to parents who took LSD before and during pregnancy. In view of the lack of any other fetal abnormalities in this child, known to be associated with LSD, we report this case to suggest that anophthalmia may be a new drug-related defect. A complete drug history of the parents should be taken in cases of congenital abnormalities to accumulates further data, which will point conclusively to the etiology of anophthalmia and possibly other congenital defects.
