ICD-Code Q86.2: Dysmorphism due to warfarin
During development in the womb, damage to health was caused by the mother taking warfarin.
Warfarin is a medication that inhibits blood clotting. The normal purpose of clotting is to stop bleeds.
Certain medication can pass from the mother to the child via the placenta.The placenta forms in the mother’s womb during pregnancy. The placenta consists of cells from the mother and cells from the unborn child. The umbilical cord connects the child to the placenta.Some medication can interfere with the baby’s development and cause damage to the baby’s health.
Warfarin can, for example, interfere with the baby's development in the womb. If bones do not develop properly, the limbs may be shorter than normal. The nose may also appear flat and sunken. Changes may also occur in the bones of the spinal column. In addition, taking warfarin may also prevent the baby’s brain or eyes from developing properly. This can lead to intellectual impairments or problems with vision.
