Abstract
We describe two malformed infants whose mothers had cervical dilation and uterine curettage. One mother had the procedure at 8 weeks and the other at 6 weeks of gestation. One infant had a facial cleft, hypertelorism, scalp defects, brain malformations, and absent fingernails and a constricting band on the fourth and fifth fingers. The other infant had an area of diminished scalp hair, vertebral anomalies, and a heart defect.
