ABSTRACT
During a prospective study conducted in Roubaix, 45 neonates presenting with the craniofacial malformation characteristic of the foetal alcohol syndrome were identified over a 3-year period. Twelve had signs of severe alcoholic embryo-foetopathy. This condition, which affects one in 700 neonates, occurs in multiparous women (mean age, 33 years) of low socio-economic status suffering from long standing, complicated alcoholism. Although the mean ethanol blood level may be as high as 1.82 g/l, this substance does not seem to be the only teratogenic agent.
