two patients born to others habitually using LSD during pregnancy are described. Each infant had an isolated bilateral optic disc anomaly suggesting an early intrauterine insult. The possibility that LSD may express its teratogenicity in such relative benign fashion is suggested and the importance of further investigations concerning the etiology of disc anomalies is stressed.
