Abstract

Postmortem studies of fetuses, infants, and young children with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) have demonstrated a variety of severe central nervous system (CNS) anomalies. We undertook this magnetic resonance study (1) to assess the spectrum of CNS anomalies that occur in a clinical sample of typical patients with FAS who are medically stable; and (2) to examine the relationship between CNS and facial anomalies.
