Background:
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning in pregnancy is a relatively rare occurrence, but it can result in fetal mortality and neurologic complications in fetuses who survive to term.
Case:
We describe the course of an infant who was acutely exposed to CO at 20 weeks of gestation.
Conclusions:
We conclude that despite maternal well-being, CO intoxication at critical periods of human brain development can lead to hypoxic-ischemic lesions in the globus pallidus and that dystonic cerebral palsy may develop in the infant during long-term follow-up.
