Fetal myocardial calcification associated with maternal cocaine use.

Abstract:

:Two cases of fetal myocardial calcification confirmed postnatally are reported. In contrast to other reports, both infants survived with resolution of calcification by 6 and 12 months. Diagnostic investigations failed to confirm the presence of congenital infection. Both pregnancies were complicated by early cocaine use leading to the speculation that myocardial necrosis with subsequent calcification related to the toxic and/or vascular effects of cocaine was responsible. The finding of fetal myocardial calcification on prenatal ultrasound should prompt a search for causes, which may include cocaine exposure.
