Acentric craniofacial cleft in a newborn female prenatally exposed to a high dose of diazepam

Abstract
A newborn female with craniofacial clefts, including cleft lip and palate, was studied. The mother had ingested 580 mg of diazepam in a single dose at about the 43rd day of gestation. The synchronism of the drug intake and the embryological development of the affected structures suggests an etiopathogenic relationship.
