Trastornos del espectro alcohólico fetal (TEAF)

Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can cause irreversible damage to an unborn baby.  If a baby is prenatally exposed to alcohol, they are at risk for having Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD).  FASD is not a diagnosis, but is an umbrella term describing the range of effects that can occur in an individual whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. These effects may include physical, mental, behavioral, and/or learning disabilities with possible lifelong implications. There are many terms under the FASD umbrella, including these medical diagnoses: Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) Alcohol Related Neuro-developmental Disorders (ARND) Alcohol Related Birth Defects (ARBD) Partial Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (pFAS) FASD is a lifetime disability that affects each child differently.  Some children with an FASD have specific facial features and tend to be smaller in height and weight. They often have brain injury that never goes away. This means both the child’s thought process and behaviors may be very different than a child who was not prenatally exposed to alcohol. The brain damage is the most challenging part of this disability. – See more at: http://www.mofas.org/2014/05/what-is-fasd/#sthash.k18nFDTE.dpuf Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can cause irreversible damage to an unborn baby.  If a baby is prenatally exposed to alcohol, they are at risk for having Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD).  FASD is not a diagnosis, but is an umbrella term describing the range of effects that can occur in an individual whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy.

FASDs are preventable if a baby is not exposed to alcohol before birth. Different FASD diagnoses are based on particular symptoms and include: Síndrome de alcohol fetal (SAF): El FAS representa el extremo más afectado del espectro de la DAED. Las personas con FAS presentan problemas en el sistema nervioso central (SNC), rasgos faciales menores y problemas de crecimiento. Pueden tener problemas de aprendizaje, memoria, atención, comunicación, visión o audición. Pueden presentar una combinación de estos problemas. A menudo tienen dificultades en la escuela y problemas para relacionarse con los demás. Trastorno neurológico relacionado con el alcohol (ARND): Las personas con ARND pueden tener discapacidades intelectuales y problemas de comportamiento y aprendizaje. Pueden tener malos resultados en la escuela y dificultades con las matemáticas, la memoria, la atención, el juicio y un control de impulsos deficiente. Defectos congénitos relacionados con el alcohol (ARBD): Las personas con ARBD pueden tener problemas con el corazón, los riñones, los huesos o la audición. Pueden presentar una combinación de estos problemas.
