Maternal hypertension has significant adverse effects on perinatal outcome. We aimed to assess whether there are long-term effects on growth and neurodevelopment in childhood. Thirty-seven children were reviewed at a median age of 56 months. Although maternal hypertension had had a significant impact on perinatal outcome of these children, most had normal growth and development in childhood. The severity of maternal hypertension was influential on perinatal outcome, but not on long-term outcome.
