Multiple ocular anomalies associated with maternal LSD ingestion
C. C. Chan, M. Fishman and P. R. Egbert
Severe ocular malformations, including microphthalmos, intraocular
cartilage, cataract, persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous, and retinal
dysplasia, occurred in a premature baby girl. The mother had ingested LSD
during the first trimester of pregnancy. To our knowledge, this is the
third case reported of ocular teratogenesis associated with maternal LSD
ingestion. Further cases must be documented to establish an actual cause
and effect relationship between the drug and the induced malformations.
