We report two cases of moderate maternal poisoning during the third trimester. They underwent hyperbaric oxygen therapy at 2.5 atmospheres for 90 minutes and were delivered at term. In one case the newborn presented an antenatal ischemic cerebral lesion probably due to monoxide poisoning. Pathophysiology and treatment of such accidents are discussed.
