There is very little data linking the use of immunomodulating agents following solid organ transplantation in pregnant women with specific congenital anomalies in the offspring. Here we report on a late preterm infant with multiple, nonsyndromic, congenital anomalies including microtia/anotia, cleft lip and palate, micrognathia, ocular hypertelorism, microphthalmia and cataracts, complex congenital heart disease, rib anomalies, and intestinal malrotation. The similarity of the complex anomalies in our case to other reported cases suggests that the abnormalities are likely due to mycophenolate mofetil alone or in combination with other immunosuppressive medications taken by the mother during pregnancy.
