Fetal trimethadione syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by the use of the anticonvulsant drug trimethadione during pregnancy. It is characterized by physical and mental abnormalities, including facial dysmorphism, growth retardation, and intellectual disability. It is also associated with a high risk of stillbirth and neonatal death.

The symptoms of Fetal Trimethadione Syndrome include:

-Low birth weight
-Small head size
-Facial abnormalities, such as a flat nose, small jaw, and low-set ears
-Cleft lip and/or palate
-Heart defects
-Developmental delays
-Seizures
-Hearing loss
-Vision problems
-Kidney and/or liver abnormalities
-Growth delays
-Cognitive impairments

Fetal trimethadione syndrome is caused by the use of the anticonvulsant drug trimethadione during pregnancy. Trimethadione is used to treat certain types of seizures, but it can cause birth defects if taken during pregnancy. The most common birth defects associated with fetal trimethadione syndrome include facial abnormalities, heart defects, and intellectual disability.

Treatment for Fetal Trimethadione Syndrome is largely supportive and symptomatic. Treatment may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and special education services. Medications may be prescribed to help control seizures, and surgery may be necessary to correct certain physical abnormalities. In some cases, genetic counseling may be recommended.

1. Maternal use of trimethadione during pregnancy
2. Maternal age over 35

At this time, there is no cure for Fetal Trimethadione Syndrome. However, there are medications that can help manage the symptoms associated with the condition. These medications include anticonvulsants, muscle relaxants, and anti-anxiety medications. Additionally, physical and occupational therapy can help improve motor skills and coordination.
