[Hydranencephaly and ingestion of estrogens during pregnancy. Fetal cerebral vascular complication?].

Abstract

The authors report a case of hydranencephaly which could result from a massive intake of oestrogens in a 18 week-gravid mother. After a brief clinical summary, the role of oestrogens in the triggering of a fetal circulatory disorder is discussed.
