L'expression FAS fut d’abord traduite en français par «syndrome d’alcoolisme fœtal». Le pédiatre français Dehaene, qui s’est lui aussi impliqué au niveau de la recherche sur les effets de l'alcool sur le fœtus, suggère l'appellation «syndrome d’alcoolisation fœtale», plus juste en effet : le fœtus n’ est pas alcoolique mais soumis contre son gré à un processus d’alcoolisation. Cette terminologie est maintenant de plus en plus utilisée dans la communauté francophone. 3, record 2, French, - syndrome%20d%26rsquo%3Balcoolisation%20f%26oelig%3Btale%20partiel
