Fetal Alcohol Syndrome? Fetal acohol syndrome is a common misspelling of fetal alcohol syndrome.
Fetal alcohol syndrome is a condition directly linked to alcohol consumption during pregnancy. It often results in birth defects, mental problems, and behavioral problems. Fetal alcohol syndrome is the most severe type of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. Other types are conditions in which individuals have some, but not all, of the characteristics of fetal alcohol syndrome. The condition can not be reversed; however, it is also completely preventable. If a woman does not drink alcohol while she is pregnant, her child will not develop fetal alcohol syndrome.
