Fernhoff Blackston Oakley syndrome

A very rare syndrome characterized mainly by retarded fetal growth and jaw anomaly as well as various other abnormalities.

Fetal acitretin syndrome

Fetal exposure to Acitretin (Soriatane, NeoTigason) can result in malformations. Acitretin is a retoind drug often used to treat psoriasis .

Fetal akinesia syndrome X-linked

A rare syndrome where the fetus is unable to move or has reduced mobility due to brain defects.

Fetal akinesia syndrome- X-linked

A rare syndrome where the fetus is unable to move or has reduced mobility due to brain defects.

Fetal alcohol syndrome is growth, mental, and physical problems that may occur in a baby when a mother drinks alcohol during pregnancy.A pattern of mental and physical birth defects caused by excessive alcohol use during pregnancy. The range and severity of the symptoms may vary greatly.

Fetal aminopterin syndrome

A rare disorder which produces multiple abnormalities and results from a failed abortion attempt using the drugs aminopterin and methotrexate.

Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia

Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia (NAIT) is a blood-related disease that affects expectant mothers and their babies.

Most people are familiar with the red blood cells that make up the majority of the blood in our bodies, but may not be aware of a second type of cell in our blood stream called platelets. These small cells are responsible for stopping bleeding in the human body.

Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia is a disease that develops when platelets in the pregnant mother and her baby become incompatible and cannot exist together.

Fetal anticonvulsant syndrome

Maternal use of anticonvulsants may increase the risk of the fetus developing birth defects. There is insufficient evidence to definitely conclude that maternal use of anticonvulsants is harmful to the fetus.

Fetal antihypertensive drugs syndrome

Fetal brain disruption sequence

A very rare syndrome characterized by skull and brain abnormalities.

Fetal cytomegalovirus syndrome

A rare condition where a fetus becomes infected with the cytomegalovirus through the mother.

Fetal diethylstilbestrol syndrome

Fetal diethylstilbestrol syndrome (medical condition): A very rare syndrome characterized mainly caused by exposure to diethylstilbestrol (used to prevent complications during pregnancy such as miscarriage and prematurity) during pregnancy.

Fetal edema

Fetal enterovirus syndrome

Fetal hydantoin syndrome

A rare disorder caused by fetal exposure to phenytoin (anticonvulsant drug) and resulting in various abnormalities.

Fetal indomethacin syndrome

Fetal exposure to indomethacin which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. The drug can pass through the placenta from the mother to the baby and cause various problems depending on what stage of development the fetus is at.

Fetal iodine syndrome

Excessive fetal exposure to iodine which can destroy part or all of the thyroid gland.

Fetal left ventricular aneurysm

A rare disorder where the fetus has a dilated ventricle on the left side of the heart. Severity of the defect is variable with some cases being asymptomatic and in other heart failure occurs during the fetal stage.

Fetal macrosomia

The most common threshold that has been proposed for macrosomia is estimated fetal weight above 4,000 g, as the risks of complications for infants and mothers are greater past this point. These risks further increase when estimated fetal weight is beyond 4,500 g, which ACOG currently uses to define macrosomia.1 Instead of using this specific cut-off, however, Boulet and colleagues proposed a grading system: grade 1 for fetal weight 4,000 to 4,499 g, grade 2 for fetal weight 4,500 to 4,999 g, and grade 3 for fetal weight over 5,000 g.2 Of course, it's important to distinguish fetal macrosomia from "large for gestational age," which implies estimated fetal weight (EFW) greater than or equal to the 90th percentile for a given gestational age. The reported 90th percentile for birthweight at 37, 38, 39, 40, and 42 completed weeks of gestation are 3,755, 3,867, 3,980, 4,060, and 4,098 g, respectively.1

Fetal methimazole syndrome

Fetal exposure to methimazole, an antithyroid agent

Fetal methyl mercury syndrome

Fetal exposure to methyl mercury which can pass from the mother to the fetus through the placenta.

Fetal minoxidil syndrome

Fetal exposure to minoxidil which can pass from the mother to the fetus through the placenta. Minoxidil is a blood vessel dilator mainly used to treat high blood pressure but has other uses as well. Increased body hair is the main consistent effect of exposure to the drug. The amount of hair usually returns to normal within the first year.

Fetal parainfluenza virus type 3 syndrome

Maternal infection with parainfluenza virus type 3 can cause a serious infection in the fetus and result in hydrocephalus. The risk is greatest during the first half of the pregnancy.

Fetal parvovirus syndrome

Fetal parvovirus syndrome (medical condition): Fetal infection with human parvovirus B19.

Fetal phenothiazine syndrome

Fetal phenothiazine syndrome (medical condition): Maternal use of a drug called phenothiazine has not been proven to cause problems in offspring. Animal studies show there is a risk but no definitive studies have been done on humans. Phenothiazine is used to treat mental and emotional disorders such as schizophrenia. The biggest risks are likely to occur during the first trimester (malformations) and towards the end of the pregnancy (poor muscle tone, poor reflexes and jaundice).
