[Radiological changes in a child with fetal alcohol syndrome].

A congenital alcoholic syndrome (CAS) belongs to rarely diagnosed embryopathies . It consists of polysymptomatic misdevelopings in numerous organs of the fetus caused by alcoholic abuse through the mother during the pregnancy. The diagnosis of the CAS is established on the basis of following topics: the anamnesis confirming the chronic alcoholism of baby's mother, the excluding of congenital genetic defects and intrauterine infections as well as qualitative and quantitative feeding deficits. In the differential diagnosis should be taken congenital cranial and facial dysmorphies which are most often seen in many syndromes such as: Pierre-Robin, Treacher-Collins, Weyer , Franceschetti - Zwahlen . In the presented paper there is described one case of the CAS observed during 15 months clinically and radiologically.
