RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: According to the literature, the incidence of prenatal cocaine exposure is up to 15.5%, and its effects on the newborn are particularly on the development of the nervous system. Pediatricians and sub-specialists must know the consequences of such exposure in order to diagnose and affect the prognosis of these children.
