A case report: Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome with current literatures

Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) is the withdrawal symptoms that occur in the baby shortly after birth from addicted mother. There are reviews about neonatal abstinence syndrome in the literatures but there is not enough study in Turkey. Literature is include just some case reports from our country. Signs and symptoms in the neonatal period are nonspecific and it is hard to make correct differential diagnosis for NAS without detail anemnesis. Doubt is the key for evaluation NAS. In this article, it is aimed to present the approach of NAS with update literature. We present the follow-up of the baby (born on 32 weeks according to Ballard score) with an unfollowed pregnancy from a heroin and cannabinoid addicted mother. In the treatment process, we mainly use morphine for the withdrawal symptoms. Our clinical approach is diccussed with the current articles.
