Abstract :
Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NYS) is a clinical condition characterized by physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms after prenatal exposure to addictive substances. These symptoms are self-limiting and usually do not require pharmacological treatment for all classes of drugs, except for opioids. In developed countries 4.4 % of pregnant women use illegal drugs. Heroin exposure during pregnancy causes prematurity, unexplained intrauterine growth restriction, placental insufficiency, postpartum hemorrhage, including pre-eclampsia and premature rupture of membranes which is associated with fetal death and neonatal morbidity. In our country, there are a very limited number of case reports about babies born with neonatal abstinence syndrome.
