In 1977 Hornstein et al1 reported the occurrence of adrenal carcinoma in a child with fetal alcohol syndrome. Recently Seeler et al2 noted a ganglioneuroblastoma in a child with fetal hydantoin-alcohol syndromes. The association of neural crest tumors with fetal hydantoin syndrome now appears established.2 The following case suggests an association with neoplasia may also exist for fetal alcohol syndrome. CASE REPORT Clinical Summary T.E. was the 1,360 gm product of a 35-week gestation born to a 30-year old, black primigravida. At 11 days of age the patient was transferred to Duke Hospital for evaluation of multiple congenital anomalies and repair of a right-sided diaphragmatic hernia.

Congenital bronchobiliary fistula (CBBF) is a rare anomaly in which a fistulous opening exists between the biliary tract and the tracheobronchial tree. CBBF may be accompanied by many congenital anomalies, with biliary system anomalies being the most common. CBBF was also reported to be associated with esophageal atresia in one case and right diaphragmatic hernia in another case. However, as far as we have known, CBBF case accompanied by multiple congenital anomalies has not been reported previously. In this article, we firstly present a case of a neonatal CBBF, incidentally diagnosed intraoperatively, accompanied by multiple congenital anomalies, including congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Secondly, we present our conclusions and updates about CBBF based on what we have learned from both our case and the literature.

To the Editor.— Kaler et al (Pediatrics 1987;79:434-436) provided a case report of hypertrichosis and multiple congenital anomalies with maternal minoxidil use. Reports such as this contribute to alerting national drug safety offices of possible teratologic questions. Maternal drug exposure data, since 1979 when minoxidil was marketed, is available to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from 73,000 pregnancies (15,600 birth defects, 4,400 spontaneous abortions, and 53,000 normal outcomes). This yields, in addition to the report by Kaler et al, only two other births with maternal minoxidil exposures:

In this article we report a case of pericallosal lipoma in a newborn with fetal alcohol syndrome, brain malformation (agenesis of the corpus callosum), and intrauterine infection (meningitis) diagnosed in a perinatal center.

The cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome is a condition of sporadic occurrence, with patients showing multiple congenital anomalies and mental retardation. The syndrome is caused by molecular disturbances in the RAS/MAPK pathway. We report on the girl, 9 year-old, with the cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome presenting with typical craniofacial appearance, heart defects, ectodermal abnormalities, neglected orthopedic pathology, developmental delay and spasticity, which rare in this syndrome.

A ganglioneuroblastoma developed in a 35-month-old boy with both the fetal hydantoin and fetal alcohol syndromes. Our case, plus two recent reports in the literature, would very likely establish the relationship between fetal hydantoin syndrome and the development of neural crest tumors. Infants exposed in utero to hydantoins should be closely observed for the development of these tumors.

De Novo Duplication of Chromosome 7 (q21.1-q32); Case Report and Review of the LiteratureCytogenetic analysis of a 1-year-old boy with multiple congenital anomalies revealed partial duplication of the chromosome 7q21.2-q32 band region. His main features included: frontal bossing, small jaw, low-set ears, deep-set eyes, strabismus, drooping left upper eyelid, widely-spaced eyes, short nose, long philtrum, down-curved upper lip, camptodactyly and hypotonia.
