Abstract

The negative effects of alcohol consumption by pregnant women is well known in the scientific literature. Alcohol consumption is recognized as a risk factor for FAS, FAE, ARBD and ARND. This article deals with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. The term Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) describes children with a characteristic facial phenotype, growth deficiency, central nervous system damage and neurobehavioral deficits. Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a range of disabilities caused by gestational exposure of the fetus to alcohol. Children with FAS display characteristics such as extreme hyperactivity, aggressiveness, poor judgment, speech and language difficulties.
