| dc.description.abstract | A long-tailed macaque fetus with ethmocephaly, alobar holoprosencephaly, and arhinia is reported. This fetus was exposed to an antiprogestational agent, RU 486 (2.5 mg/kg intramuscular, once daily), during gestational days 15–18. Three hypotheses are proposed to explain these malformations: (1) they are a direct result of drug exposure, (2) they are a secondary effect of treatment and the result of decreased blood supply to the developing embryo due to an incomplete abortion, and (3) they represent a spontaneous occurrence. | en |
