    AbstractIntrauterine exposure to cocaine is reaching epidemic proportions and is affecting the lives of an increasing number of infants and children. The toxic effects are manifested as microcephaly, growth retardation, brain infarcts, congenital malformations, and withdrawal symptoms lasting for several weeks. Preliminary long-term follow-up studies reveal worrisome psychologic alterations that may profoundly affect the personality of exposed individuals.
