dc.description.abstract	ABSTRACT Intrauterine exposure to drugs by mothers is not an uncommon finding ine our society. Due to the mother’s suppression of a medical history, the diagnosis of neonatal abstinence syndrome is often missed. We report a case of a term, female, newborn, who presented with the following features;e restlessness, inconsolable crying, along with sweating, vigorous sucking; andadiarrhoea. No conclusion was derived from routine investigations. Eventually, with a high degree of suspicion regarding maternal drug addiction, her history was reviewed and it was discovered that the mother was a heroin addict. The baby was diagnosed as a case of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome. The neonate was successfully managed thereafter and discharged. Key Words neonatal abstinence syndrome, neonate,
