Abstract
Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a complex malformative condition due to the teratogenic
effect of alcohol consumed during pregnancy. Several epidemiological studies have shown
that maternal alcohol use during pregnancy is the most common preventable cause of mental
retardation in childhood. The effects of alcohol on the fetus range from abortion to a
spectrum of clinical manifestations called FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders) that include
partial FAS (PFAS), neonatal alcohol-related birth defects (ARBD) and alcohol-related
neurodevelopmental disorders (ARND) up to the most severe disease defined as FAS.
