It can be too easy to see what failed to come up this year and step on the crocuses close to the ground. The important thing is to be thankful that there is a garden. It is not a wasteland."

It is the most common known non-genetic (non-inherited) cause of mental retardation in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), between 1,200 and 8,8,00 babies are born with FAS each year. Even more are born with alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND). The terms Fetal alcohol syndrome includes a characteristic group of defects including small head and brain, facial abnormalities, and defects of other organs. Infants with FAS also have neurodevelopmental abnormalities including impaired fine motor skills, abnormal walking, neurosensory hearing loss, and poor eye-hand coordination.

Extractions: Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is the sum total of the damage done to the child before birth as a result of the mother drinking alcohol during pregnancy. Although the dangers of alcohol during pregnancy had long been suspected, FAS was formally discovered in 1968 by P. Lemoine and colleagues from Nantes (France) in 127 children of alcoholic parents. Their report in a French pediatric journal drew little attention. Focus on FAS only came after it was independently rediscovered in 1973 by K.L. Jones and colleagues from Seattle (USA) in 8 children of mothers with chronic alcoholism. Their report in the British medical journal, The Lancet , triggered an avalanche of reports of FAS.

In 1973, a cluster of birth defects resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure was recognized as a clinical entity called fetal alcohol syndrome . More recently, alcohol exposure in utero has been linked to a variety of other neurodevelopmental problems, and the terms alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder and alcohol-related birth defects have been proposed to identify infants so affected.

http://www.uic.edu/com/eye/LearningAboutVision/EyeFacts/FetalAlcoholSyndrome.sht

Extractions: Eye doctors are interested in FAS because of the frequent involvement of the eyes, which may cause significant visual impairment in children. Visual acuity (the ability to see detail) is reduced in over 50 percent of children with FAS. Some problems such as a high refractive error (as large amount of near- or farsightedness) can be corrected with eyeglasses. Other problems that are caused by abnormal or incomplete development of the eye during pregnancy can result in a permanent reduction of vision. For example, the optic nerve may be small or abnormally developed, causing vision impairment. Less commonly, the cornea (the clear surface of the eye) and iris (the colored part of the eye) may show malformations that severely limit vision. Strabismus (an eye turn) is present in 25 to 50 percent of children with FAS. Some other possible problems include cataracts (clouding of the lens) and nystagmus (involuntary rapid movements of the eye).

Maternal Risk Assessment Introduction This is a leading identifiable cause of mental retardation in the United States. Children with this syndrome have short stature, they are slender, have a distinctive pattern of facial features and most importantly brain damage. About 1% of all live births in the U.S. have learning or behavior problems caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. The cause of the syndrome is exposure to alcohol during fetal development. Many children with this syndrome also have mental retardation or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The syndrome has severe behavioral implications and requires long term intensive services. The book Children with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome provides management strategies for parents and schools.
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome And Effects

http://members.aol.com/creaconinc/fas.html

Extractions: -Michel Eyquem Montaigne Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a pattern of malformations and disabilities resulting from a pregnant woman drinking heavily during her pregnancy. FAS will not occur if the father was drinking heavily or if the pregnant woman was drinking a very small amount of alcohol on rare occasions. Heavy drinking on a consistent basis or binge drinking on an occasional basis can produce FAS. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is currently the leading cause of mental retardation in the United States. Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) is a condition where children are born with less dramatic physical defects, but with many of the same behavioral and psychosocial characteristics as those with FAS. FAE is often thought of as lower on a continuum than FAS, but this is not correct. Many individuals with FAE, while looking quite normal, have significant deficits in their intellectual, behavioral, and social abilities which prevent them from leading normal lives. Forty-four percent of women who drink heavily during pregnancy will have a child with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.

Extractions: SPECIAL TO THE POST-INTELLIGENCER If you've ever cringed while watching a pregnant woman take a drink, perhaps it is because you've seen the warning labels on bottles of alcohol or read Michael Dorris' book, "The Broken Cord," about his son's struggles with fetal alcohol syndrome. Maybe you've seen a public service announcement, a high school science textbook or a magazine article about FAS. Perhaps you keep up with the news and know that just a few weeks ago, the U.S. Surgeon General updated a 1981 warning advising pregnant women and those who might become pregnant to abstain from drinking in order to prevent the birth defects caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. Absent from this warning was a call for increased services (including insurance coverage for treatment) for alcohol-abusing women. Guillermo Munro / P-I The most serious effect of prenatal alcohol exposure is fetal alcohol syndrome. People with FAS often have problems with learning, memory, attention span, communication, vision and hearing. They struggle with difficulties in school and have problems getting along with others. Thousands are born with the condition each year, adding to an already large population of FAS-damaged individuals.

Extractions: Feature Archive Fetal Alcohol Syndrome What is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome? WebMD Feature Like any syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a group of signs and symptoms that appear together and indicate a certain condition. In the case of FAS, the signs and symptoms are birth defects that result from a woman's use of alcohol during her pregnancy. Among their symptoms, children with FAS may grow less quickly than other children, have facial abnormalities and have problems with their central nervous systems, including mental retardation. In the United States, FAS is one of the leading causes of birth defects and is thought to be the most common cause of preventable mental retardation. Each year between 5,000 and 12,000 American babies are born with the condition. FAS is sometimes called fetal alcohol abuse syndrome. Symptoms Usually, FAS is diagnosed only when a child has the following major clinical manifestations, or signs:
