  • Title: Fetal alcohol syndrome. A great paediatric imitator.
    Author: Lipson AH, Walsh DA, Webster WS.
    Journal: Med J Aust; 1983 Mar 19; 1(6):266-9. PubMed ID: 6828013.
    Abstract:
    Twenty children affected by prenatal exposure to alcohol are described. Their mothers either suffered from chronic alcoholism, or were binge or heavy drinkers while pregnant. Only in nine mothers (45%) was alcohol abuse recognized and associated with their babies' anomalies in the first months after birth; in some, the diagnosis of fetal alcohol syndrome was delayed for many years. Alcohol abuse in pregnancy is probably a significant cause of birth and developmental defects in Australian children.
