    Valproic Acid and the Risk of Major Malformations

    Previous studies have indicated that infants exposed to valproic acid in pregnancy are at increased risk for a range of malformations, including neural tube defects.  While these studies have shown an association between valproic acid and various malformations, they have been limited in their ability to quantify the risk of certain, less common malformations.  To do this, large population-based case–control studies are more appropriate.
