    Extractions: last a lifetime What is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)? Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, also called FAS, is the name given to a combination of mental and physical defects first evident at a baby’s birth and are a direct result of a woman drinking alcohol while she is pregnant. These defects continue throughout the rest of the child’s life. What is Fetal Alcohol Effect (FAE)? Fetal Alcohol Effect shares some of the same characteristics as FAS, but is not as evident. However, babies with FAE have an equal amount of brain damage as babies with FAS. If you drink any amount of beer, wine, mixed drinks, liquor, or wine coolers, your baby is at risk. The chemicals in alcohol readily pass through the placenta so that the baby absorbs the same amount of alcohol as you do. However, in a small fetus with developing systems, even a small amount of alcohol can be devastating, possibly resulting in the most serious consequence…mental retardation.

    http://www.health20-20.org/what_can_we_do_about_fetal_alcohol_syndrome.htm
    
    Extractions: Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Ann Pytkowicz Streissguth, PhD When a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, within minutes the blood alcohol level in the fetus becomes about the same as that in the mother. The embryo and fetus are growing and changing so rapidly that their development can be altered by exposure to certain toxic drugs, like alcohol. Amounts of alcohol that have no perceptible long-term effect on the mother can produce long-lasting effects on the offspring. The birth defect cause by heavy prenatal exposure to alcohol in utero is called Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). FAS is the most common known cause of mental retardation in the western world. Yet FAS is entirely preventable. Lemoine, a French pediatrician, noted a characteristic appearance and behavior among children of alcoholic mothers. He concluded in a 1968 paper that the characteristics were so distinctive that alcoholism in the mothers could be diagnosed by observing the children. In 1973 Jones, Smith, and colleagues independently made similar observations and termed this characteristic pattern of physical abnormalities Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Since then, hundreds of reports of patients from all racial groups have been published.

It was originally postulated that malnutrition might be responsible for these defects. However, the pattern of malformation associated with FAS is not seen in children born to malnourished women, and alcohol has been found to be acutely toxic to the fetus independently of the effects of malnutrition (2,3). Related Resources Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Criteria for defining FAS were standardized by the Fetal Alcohol Study Group of the Research Society on Alcoholism in 1980 (4), and modifications were proposed in 1989 by Sokol and Clarren (5). The proposed criteria are 1) prenatal and/or postnatal growth retardation (weight and/or length below the 10th percentile); 2) central nervous system involvement, including neurological abnormalities, developmental delays, behavioral dysfunction, intellectual impairment, and skull or brain malformations; and 3) a characteristic face with short palpebral fissures (eye openings), a thin upper lip, and an elongated, flattened midface and philtrum (the groove in the middle of the upper lip).
