1Department of Pediatrics, China Medical College Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan, R.O.C.
We report a rare case of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) with Arnold-Chiari malformation. The new-born had the typical facial abnormalities associated with FAS and the mother had a history of heavy drinking. CNS malformation, which is rarely seen in FAS, was also presented. The relationship between the developmental defects and maternal alcohol drinking are discussed together with a review of the literature.
