title: [Fetal alcoholic syndrome: a clinical case].
abstract: Fetal alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a well recognized pattern of malformations, produced by a heavy and chronic intake of ethanol during pregnancy. The Authors report a clinical case of FAS, observed during an epidemiological study on alcohol abuse of pregnancy women. They describe the anomalies and malformations of a newborn by a heavy drinking mother, and of his seven year old brother. Finally, the Authors consider the toxicological and preventive aspects of problem: counselling women of child-bearing age to the dangers of alcoholic intake during the gestation period is a professional responsibility.
