title: [Small intestine atresia and abnormal insertion of the umbilicus in a child with fetal alcohol syndrome].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Fetal alcohol syndrome is quite common in our region (incidence: 1/700 live births). It usually associates facial dysmorphism, intra-uterine growth retardation and mental delay.
  
  
  METHODS
  Jonathan, born to an alcoholic mother, presented a typical dysmorphy of fetal alcohol syndrome and a low inserted umbilicus. A small bowel atresia was discovered at the third day of life and operated on.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although never been previously described, this association suggests a common embryological origin between fetal alcohol syndrome, small bowel atresia, and umbilical abnormality.
