Abstract:
The clinical characteristics of a case of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) diagnosed by Shenzhen Children′s Hospital were summarized.The patient was 6 years and 4 months old, and admitted to the hospital because of her " slow growth of height for more than 6 years" . There was a history of alcohol exposure in the fetus.The infant was born with low body mass, and grew slowly in height and body mass after birth.She was diagnosed with FAS due to typical facial features of FAS, microcephalia, poor memory and narrative ability.The effect of alcohol exposure during pregnancy on fetus is permanent, and abstinence is the only way to prevent FAS.In this paper, the clinical characteristics of FAS were summarized and the literature was reviewed in order to improve the clinical understanding of the disease.
