Abstract
An association between hydantoin taken during pregnancy and congenital abnormalities was defined as “fetal hydantoin syndrome”(FHS). Associated minor congenital abnormalities include digit and nail hypoplasia, developmental delay, typical facial appearance, rib anomalies, abnormal palmar creases, hirsutism, and low hairlines. Serious defects such as cardiovascular malformations, cleft lip or palate, and inguinal hernia may also be associated with this syndrome. In this case report, a 13-month-old girl with fetal hydantoin syndrome whose mother had received phenytoin throughout pregnancy has been presented. Her physical examination revealed global developmental delay, craniofacial dysmorphism, and pes equino varus. The patient did not have the cardiovascular malformations associated with FHS.The aim of this case report is to promote awareness among pediatricians regarding the importance of recognizing FHS in infants with congenital abnormalities

Abstract
Gebelikte hidantoin kullanımı ve konjenital anomali birlikteliği “ Fetal hidantoin sendromu” olarak tanımlanmıştır. Eşlik eden minör konjenital anomaliler; parmak ve tırnak hipoplazisi, büyüme geriliği, tipik yüz görünümü, kosta anomalileri, anormal palmar çizgiler, hirşutizm ve saç çizgisinde düşüklük olabilir. Kardiyovasküler malformasyonlar, yarık damak veya dudak ve inguinal herni bu sendromla ilişkili olabilir.Bu olgu takdiminde annesi gebeliği süresince hidantoin kullanmış, 13 aylık fetal hidantoin sendromlu bir kız hasta sunulmaktadır. Hastanın fizik muayene bulguları; genel gelişme geriliği, kraniyofasiyal dismorfizm ve pes ekino varusu içermekteydi. Olgunun sendrom ile ilişkili bir bulgu olan kardiyovasküler anomalisi yoktu.Bu olgu sunumu ile, pediatri uzmanlarının konjenital anomalili bebeklerde fetal hidantoin sendromunu akla getirmesi gerektiğini vurgulamayı amaçladık.

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions.

If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
