SANS-FITO, Anna et al. Trastorno del espectro alcohólico fetal: Un trastorno del neurodesarrollo infradiagnosticado y de pronóstico incierto. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2019, vol.79, n.1, suppl.1, pp.62-67. ISSN 0025-7680.

Prenatal exposure to alcohol is the cause of cognitive and behavioural disorders grouped under the term fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). The long-term evolution of subjects with FASD is often unfavourable, especially in social and academic fields. Executive dysfunction is a hallmark deficit for children with FASD with increased rates of externalizing behaviours, such as aggressiveness and frequently delinquency in adolescence and adulthood. Deficits in social skills, empathy and communication ability are frequent observed among FASD. Prenatal exposure to alcohol is the most frequent cause of acquired and preventable neurodevelopmental disorder.
