Abstract
We report on a newborn baby, exposed to valproic acid in utero, with t he typical dysmorphic features of the fetal valproate syndrome and omp halocele. One identical case has already been reported after valproic acid exposure in utero. Conclusion Intra-uterine valproate exposure ma y be responsible for midline defects of the abdominal wall.
