title: Radial microbrain form of micrencephaly: possible association with carbamazepine.
abstract: A premature infant exposed to carbamazepine in utero had a markedly undersized brain on cranial ultrasonogram. Postmortem examination of the brain revealed no evidence of hypoxic-ischemic injury, hemorrhage, infarction, congenital infection, or calcification. The normal cortical gyral pattern, normal residual germinal matrix, and normal cortical lamination suggested the diagnosis of a radial microbrain form of micrencephaly.
