    Area of Science:

    • Medical Genetics
    • Teratology
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Congenital stippled epiphyses (CSE) is a rare skeletal dysplasia characterized by punctate calcifications in the epiphyses.
    • Differential diagnosis for CSE includes genetic syndromes and in-utero exposures.

    Observation:

    • This report details a case of CSE in a neonate.
    • Maternal history revealed the ingestion of warfarin during the first trimester of pregnancy.

    Findings:

    • The clinical presentation and radiographic findings are consistent with CSE.
    • A strong etiological link is suggested between maternal warfarin exposure and the development of CSE in the infant.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the potential teratogenic effects of warfarin, particularly during early embryogenesis.

  • Clinicians should consider maternal warfarin use in the differential diagnosis of congenital skeletal abnormalities.
  • Further research is warranted to elucidate the precise mechanisms of warfarin-induced skeletal dysplasia.
