valproic acid and Acrocephaly

valproic acid has been researched along with Acrocephaly in 11 studies

Valproic Acid: A fatty acid with anticonvulsant and anti-manic properties that is used in the treatment of EPILEPSY and BIPOLAR DISORDER. The mechanisms of its therapeutic actions are not well understood. It may act by increasing GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID levels in the brain or by altering the properties of VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS.
valproic acid : A branched-chain saturated fatty acid that comprises of a propyl substituent on a pentanoic acid stem.

Acrocephaly: Premature closing of the lambdoid and coronal sutures.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"we describe a case of trigonocephaly in a six month-old girl, daughter of a young non-smoker couple, whose mother had used phenobarbital 100 mg daily and sodium valproate 500 mg twice daily during the whole pregnancy."3.71[Metopic suture craniosynostosis: sodium valproate teratogenic effect. Case report]. ( Abraham, R; Assencio-Ferreira, VJ; Santos, KC; Veiga, JC, 2001)
"The prevalence of trigonocephaly increased during the last two decades both in Europe and in the United States, but no clear contributing factors have yet been identified."2.61Recent advances in trigonocephaly. ( Aillet, S; Mocquard, C; Riffaud, L, 2019)
"Valproic acid (VPA) is a teratogenic drug used in pregnant women for the treatment of epilepsy and mood disorders."1.37Severe fetal valproate syndrome: combination of complex cardiac defect, multicystic dysplastic kidney, and trigonocephaly. ( Cetinkaya, M; Köksal, N; Ozkan, H; Yapici, S, 2011)
"Ideally any pregnancy in a woman being treated for epilepsy should be planned, and both an obstetrician and a neurologist should be consulted."1.31Craniosynostosis and fetal exposure to sodium valproate. ( Barcik, U; Bourgeois, M; El Ghouzzi, V; Lajeunie, E; Renier, D; Thorne, JA, 2001)
"Metopic craniosynostosis may be an adverse effect of valproic acid exposed fetus."1.31[Metopic craniosynostosis, probable effect of intrauterine exposure to maternal valproate treatment]. ( Bensouda, B; Bruel, H; Chabrolle, JP; Degre, S; Ickowicz, V; Poinsot, J; Simon, A, 2001)
"From a series of 1,713 patients with craniosynostosis hospitalized between 1976 and 1996, 237 propositi with metopic synostosis were analyzed."1.30Syndromal and nonsyndromal primary trigonocephaly: analysis of a series of 237 patients. ( Lajeunie, E; Le Merrer, M; Marchac, D; Renier, D, 1998)
