DISCUSSIONA well-recognized constellation of congenital malformations is associated with the maternal use of isotretinoin. Affected infants typically have defects involving the head and face (especially small, malformed, or missing ears; micrognathia; and cleft palate), heart (particularly conotruncal defects and aortic arch abnormalities), thymus, and central nervous system (prominently including hydrocephalus and posterior fossa abnormalities). H The three sibs we report had findings consistent with a diagnosis of isotretinoin embryopathy or fetal isotretinoin syndrome: each had malformation of the ears and an interrupted aortic arch. The additional craniofacial features described in our patients are not unknown in fetal isotretinoin syndrome. The mother of the patients, however, had no prenatal history of exposure to isotretinoin, and her diet was not unusual.The malformations reported in isotretinoin embryopathy are similar to those seen after excessive maternal vitamin A exposure in humans l~ and animals2 2-~ s The mother of our patients, however, has no history of excess vitamin A consumption, either before or during pregnancy. Similarly, we could identify no maternal exposure to any other retinoid. The differential diagnosis includes DiGeorge syndrome, which also involves ear anomalies and interrupted aorta; however, our patient has normal lyre-
