Abstract

We experienced a case of fetal alcohol syndrome in 9 day old male neonate who delivered at term. On maternal history, his mother had been drunk as much as 64 to 96 cc of alcohol everyday during first trimester and third trimester. The baby had a small for gestational age, microcephaly, bilateral micro-ophthalmia, short palpebral fissure, shallow philtrum, posterior rotation of helix, vocal cord defect and patent ductus arteriosus. On the basis of maternal history and clinical features, mentioned above, we made a diagnosis of fetal alcohol syndrome and a brief review of literature.
