ABSTRACT
The increased use of antidepressants during pregnancy has been associated with adverse effects in the newborn. We report a case of antenatal escitalopram use associated with necrotizing enterocolitis in a healthy term baby. We further discuss possible mechanisms that may explain this association. With increasing evidence of association of necrotizing enterocolitis with maternal exposure to antidepressants, more studies to find out causality and methods to predict babies at risk and their prudent management are needed.
