fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (fasds)

How are FASDs diagnosed?

Diagnosing FASDs can be challenging as the symptoms often overlap with other disorders. A comprehensive evaluation by a multidisciplinary team is usually required. This team may include a gynecologist, pediatrician, neurologist, psychologist, and other specialists. Key components of the diagnosis include:
- Detailed maternal history of alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
- Physical examination of the child, focusing on growth parameters and facial features.
- Neurodevelopmental assessment to evaluate cognitive and behavioral functions.
- Genetic testing to rule out other conditions.
