ABSTRACT
El síndrome de abstinencia neonatal (SAN) debido a la exposición prenatal al citalopram se desarrolla durante los primeros días de vida, incluso con una exposición al fármaco en dosis bajas. El tratamiento de apoyo es la primera opción, aunque puede usarse el fenobarbital en el tratamiento de este síndrome. No debe interrumpirse la lactancia. Debe hacerse un seguimiento de estos recién nacidos para establecer el desenlace del SAN y las consecuencias en el desarrollo neurológico. En este artículo presentamos el caso de un recién nacido con SAN debido a exposición al citalopram en una dosis más baja que lo informado previamente en la bibliografía durante los últimos seis meses del embarazo. Se utilizó el fenobarbital debido al fracaso del tratamiento no farmacológico.
Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) due to prenatally exposure to citalopram can develop during the first days of life even with low dose of drug exposure. Supportive management is the first choice but phenobarbital can be used in treatment of this syndrome. Breastfeeding should not be interrupted. These neonates should be followed both for NAS and neurodevelopmental outcome. In this article, we reported a newborn with NAS due to citalopram exposure with a lower dose than previously reported in the literature, during the last six months of pregnancy. Phenobarbital was used because of non-pharmacological treatment failure.

Visando a analisar o uso de maconha e opiáceos durante a gestação e suas consequências, tanto na formação como no futuro desenvolvimento da criança, realizou-se uma revisão crítica da literatura, com foco nos efeitos deletérios dessas drogas no recém-nato. Muitas dúvidas ainda não foram sanadas referentes à ação das drogas e o reflexo no concepto. Foram observadas coincidências entre o uso de maconha e o mau desenvolvimento do tubo neural do recém-nato, além de possíveis anencefalias. Em relação à ação dos opiáceos durante a gestação, foi observado um maior número de partos prematuros, bebês nascidos com baixo peso, com menor circunferência craniana e menor estatura
Aiming at analyzing the marijuana and opioids use during pregnancy and their consequences both in formation and in the future development of the child, a critic review of the literature was carried out focusing on the deleterious effects of these drugs in the recent born. Many questions have not been answered referring to the action of the drug and its reflection on the concept. It had been observed a relationship between use of marijuana and the poor development of the neural tube of the newly born and possible anencephalies. In relation to the opioids outcomes during pregnancy, an increase of premature births, babies born with low-birth weight, small cephalic circumference, and lower height were observed
