| Abstract |
|
Fetal alcohol syndrome is characterized by distinctive facial appearance, prenatal onset growth deficiency, an increased frequency of development and mental retardation, cardiac anomaly and genitourinary anomaly. Complete abstinence during pregnancy is recommended, since alcohol consumption in each trimester has been associated with abnormalities. We experienced a case of fetal alcohol syndrome in a 11-month-old female infant. Her mother had drunk as much as 500cc of alcohol every day from 1st trimester to 3rd trimester of pregnancy. The child was small for gestational age, other distinctive features were microcephaly, thin upper lip, short palpebral fissure, hypertelorism, low nasal bridge, hypoplasia of philtrum, dysplastic ear, developmental and mental retardation, mild pulmonary stenosis and ovarian cysts. On the basis of maternal history and clinical features mentioned above, we diagnosed the case as fetal alcohol syndrome. |
