Abstract

Six children affected by the fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) are described. Their ages vary from newborn to 15 years. All had multigravid, alcoholic mothers. All have the facial features of the FAS, and prenatal and postnatal growth retardation. Four have additional congenital anomalies, and at least four are mentally retarded. These children are described to increase awareness of the FAS in Australia, whose population has a high and changing pattern of alcohol consumption.

摘要

本文描述了6名患有胎儿酒精综合征（FAS）的儿童。他们的年龄从新生儿到15岁不等。所有患儿的母亲均为多产且酗酒。所有患儿都具有FAS的面部特征，以及产前和产后生长发育迟缓。4名患儿还有其他先天性异常，至少4名患儿存在智力障碍。描述这些儿童是为了提高澳大利亚对FAS的认识，该国人口的酒精消费模式高且不断变化。
