Clinical Presentation

Clinical findings in a newborn with FAS include a characteristic pattern of facial anomalies,6,7 with short palpebral fissures, a thin upper lip, and a long, smooth philtrum (Figures 1,2a through 2d, and 3a through 3c).4,8 Other findings may include a flat midface, ptosis of the eyelids, epicanthal folds, an upturned nose with a flat nasal bridge, underdeveloped ears (“railroad track” appearance, Figure 4), clinodactyly of the fifth fingers (Figure 5), camptodactyly, “hockey stick” palmar creases (Figure 5), hirsutism, and cardiac defects. Prenatal or postnatal growth retardation typically results in a height or weight below the 10th percentile for age and race. Microcephaly is common, as are structural brain anomalies. CNS impairment may not be apparent in newborns. Cognitive deficits and behavioral anomalies such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder typically become more apparent in school-aged children with FASD and usually persist into adolescence and adulthood, whereas facial findings among the subset with FAS may become less characteristic.
