Abstract
The effect of conventional anti-convulsant, Phenytoin, on bone health is described in the literature. There is increasing evidence on the role of Vitamin K in bone health and in prevention of osteoporotic fractures (4) We report a case of a newborn with fetal hydantoin syndrome associated with epiphyseal stippling and consider a possible protective role of antenatal administration of vitamin K to mothers on phenytoin to prevent vitamin K induced epiphyseal stippling in the neonate.
