ARTICLES RELATED TO Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder - When the brain damage occurs | | | |  Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder - When the brain damage occurs: Encyclopedia II - Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder - When the brain damage occursDuring the first trimester, according to Dr. Sterling Clarren and Dr. Ann Streissguth, both of the University of Washington, alcohol interferes with the migration and organization of brain cells (Journal of Pediatrics, 92(1):64-67).
Most of the clinical features of FAS (the facial and other visible deformities) are believed to be caused mainly during the 10th and 20th week (Early Human Development; 1983 Jul Vol. 8(2) 99-111).
During the third trimester, damage can be caused to the hippocampus, which plays a role i ...

| | | | Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder - When the brain damage occurs: Encyclopedia II - Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder - Brain damage and facial defects Craniofacial abnormalities are visible in children with FAS, though not in children with FAE. Generally, children with FAS have a smaller head circumference and low birth weight, and they may fail to thrive. Their facial features are distinctive and diagnostically significant, in that they are a sign of brain damage, although there may be brain damage without the visible facial effects.
Common findings are mild to moderate microcephaly; small palpebral fissure lengths (palpebral fissures are the opening of the eyelids, measured from b ...

Smith of the University of Washington Medical School in Seattle. They identified a pattern of "craniofacial, limb, and cardiovascular defects associated with prenatal onset growth deficiency and developmental delay" in eight unrelated children, of three ethnic groups, born to mothers who were alcoholics (Jones et al 1973, p. 1267). The pattern of malformations indicated that the damage was prenatal. News of the discovery was "shocking, and met at ...
