Abstract

Occipitofrontal head circumference (OFC) of 172 neonates exposed prenatally to phenobarbital and phenytoin was compared to 168 control neonates, and the findings were studied in relation to a follow-up assessment of cognitive functioning in adulthood, at the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
