Cocaine embryofetopathy – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1604796846

Cocaine embryofetopathy is a teratogenic disorder observed in newborns exposed in utero to cocaine. Cocaine use during pregnancy increases the risk of premature birth, growth retardation (involving weight, length, and head circumference), and behavioural abnormalities in the offspring. Increased risk of miscarriage and fetal death was also reported.
