Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a non-curable birth defect caused by the maternal consumption of alcohol during pregnancy and can result in mental retardation. Similarly, the alcohol related neurological disorder (ARND) is characterized by brain damage and physical malformations, but mental retardation may not be present. FAS and ARND often result in behavioral disorders.

CONT

CONT

Le SAF [syndrome d'alcoolisation fœtale] partiel signifie qu'un enfant a certaines des caractéristiques du SAF [syndrome d'alcoolisation fœtale] mais pas toutes. Le TNDLA ou trouble neurologique du développement lié à l'alcool constitue le diagnostic posé dans le cas d'un enfant qui ne présente pas de problèmes de croissance ni de différences faciales mais dont les preuves de dommages au système nerveux central sont évidentes. Cela se manifeste surtout par divers problèmes de comportement.

OBS

Le TNDLA (trouble neurologique du développement lié à l'alcool] était auparavant appelé les EAF (effets d'alcoolisme fœtal).
