[Aplasia cutis after exposure to carbimazole in utero].
The authors report a case of a skin defect in the scalp of a child whose mother took carbimazole during her pregnancy. Including our case there are now 15 congenital scalp defects reported: however, these rare cases do not show that carbimazole should not be used during pregnancy.
