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.
