Fetal Alcohol Syndrome? Fatel alcohol syndrome is a common misspelling of fetal alcohol syndrome.
Alcohol consumption during pregnancy could lead to fetal alcohol syndrome, a condition characterized by birth defects, mental problems, and behavioral problems. The condition is 100 percent preventable. If a woman does not drink alcohol while she is pregnant, her child will not develop fetal alcohol syndrome. In addition, fetal alcohol syndrome is not hereditary. If a woman herself has fetal alcohol syndrome, her own child cannot develop it, unless she drinks alcohol during pregnancy.
