Cocaine abuse during pregnancy can lead to serious complications like placental abruption and preterm labor. Neonatal cocaine intoxication may cause cardiorespiratory and neurological issues.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Cocaine abuse during pregnancy presents significant risks to both mother and fetus.
  • Understanding the impact of maternal substance use on perinatal outcomes is crucial for clinical management and public health.

Observation:

  • A case report detailing a pregnancy complicated by cocaine abuse.
  • The abuse was temporally associated with abruptio placentae, preterm labor, and rapid delivery.
  • The neonate exhibited respiratory distress, persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, and neurological dysfunction.

Findings:

  • Perinatal cocaine intoxication is discussed as a potential cause of the neonate's cardiorespiratory and neurological maladaptation.
  • The infant received supportive therapy and was followed up to nine months of age.
