Abstract
The teratogenic properties of phenytoin, including cardiac malformations, h ave been previously documented. We report one patient with foetal hydantoin syndrome and atrioventricular septal defect with common atrioventricular j unction but separate right and left atrioventricular valves, an association that has not been described, to the best of our knowledge.
