Abstract
Since the first description of the fetal alcohol syndrome in 1973 the fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) are still the leading
preventable cause of birth defects,intellectual and neurodevelopmental disabilities. A recent WHO study estimates the global prevalence 7,7
per 1000 population,with large differences between countries.Renewed awareness results in new prevention and screening campaigning for
this completely preventable global public health problem. In this mini-review, the various parts of FASD, as FAS, ARND and ARBD are discussed.
