Glucocorticoids, commonly referred to as steroids, are widely used in neonatalperinatal medicine. They are prescribed to pregnant women at risk for premature birth, and sometimes to infants with significant airway or lung disease, refractory hypotension, or septic shock. Preterm infants are at high risk for brain injury, morbidity, and mortality. Steroids are thought to attenuate some of these risks. 1, 2 However, steroid regimens used vary widely, from a single short course of antenatal steroids given to the mother early in the third trimester, to repeated or prolonged courses of steroids given over weeks to the premature infant. As more data have accumulated regarding the long-term outcomes of infants exposed to steroids, concern has been increasing about neurodevelopmental impairment after exposure to steroids in certain settings. This article summarizes some of the experimental and clinical findings, and explores the complex nature of the relationship between steroids and brain injury, with a focus on the premature brain.
