Neonatal intraventricular haemorrhage associated with maternal use of paroxetine

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have been reported to inhibit serotonin uptake into platelets, resulting in decreased platelet function. We report a case of a large intraventricular haemorrhage in a 6‐h‐old boy, whose mother used paroxetine during pregnancy.
