Abstract
Two patients born to mothers who abused cocaine during pregnancy were found to have
various brain malformations, some of which were not previously reported. Children
who were exposed to cocaine or polysubstances prenatally and who present with a neurologic
deficit require neuroimaging studies to detect abnormalities.
