The abuse of cocaine in this country has reached epidemic proportions and has generated great concern for the effects of the drug on the fetus when used during pregnancy. Although educational campaigns cite adverse fetal effects as a deterrent to using the drug, there are limited data on which to base a true risk assessment. This paper reviews the published studies of pregnancy outcome in cocaine-abusing mothers, with special focus on structural malformations and other neonatal risks.
