phenytoin has been researched along with Microcephaly in 3 studies
Microcephaly: A congenital abnormality in which the CEREBRUM is underdeveloped, the fontanels close prematurely, and, as a result, the head is small. (Desk Reference for Neuroscience, 2nd ed.)

| "Our objective was to evaluate the patterns of malformations in children exposed in utero to phenytoin (DPH) and carbamazepine (CBZ) monotherapy, and to compare them prospectively with matched mother-child pairs exposed to nonteratogens, and to separate the effects of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) from those of epilepsy by collecting groups of untreated epileptics and those treated with DPH and CBZ for conditions other than epilepsy." | 9.08 | Findings in children exposed in utero to phenytoin and carbamazepine monotherapy: independent effects of epilepsy and medications. ( Chitayat, D; Farkas, LD; Koren, G; Nulman, I; Scolnik, D, 1997) |

| " Fifty-two children had been exposed to phenytoin monotherapy, 19 to carbamazepine monotherapy, 27 to drug combinations including barbiturates, 29 to other drug combinations, and 17 children had not been exposed to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) during pregnancy." | 3.68 | Head circumference in children of epileptic mothers: contributions of drug exposure and genetic background.
