Abstract

An infant with neonatal barbiturate withdrawal syndrome is reported. The clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of this condition are discussed. A retrospective review of fifty-three infants of barbiturate-treated epileptic mothers indicated a high incidence of 'jitteriness' (17%) and feeding problems (36%) in the immediate neonatal period.
