Prenatal Alcohol Exposure Patterns and Alcohol‐Related Birth Defects and Growth Deficiencies: A Prospective Study

Abstract: Reduced birth length and weight, microcephaly, smooth philtrum, and thin vermillion border are associated with specific gestational timing of prenatal alcohol exposure and are dose-related without evidence of a threshold. Women should continue to be advised to abstain from alcohol consumption from conception throughout pregnancy.

“…Alcohol abuse and dependence disorders are associated with marital instability, violent crime, fatal accidents, and injuries (Chick 2011). Heavy drinking is associated with increased risk of different types of cancer (Nelson et al 2013; Touvier et al 2013), higher cardiovascular disease mortality (Graff-Iversen et al 2013), birth defects (Feldman et al 2012), liver diseases (McCullough et al 2011), and neuropsychiatric disorders (Rivas et al 2013). …”

In alcohol embryopathy, poor intrauterine growth, microcephaly, cleft palate and heart defects may be associated with unusual facial characteristics including a short nose, short palpebral fissures and thin upper 19 . It is of note that the dysmorphic features seen with some types of AED exposure and with alcohol exposure have been suggested to be caused by Vitamin K deficiency and as such they mirror the effects seen in warfarin embryopathy.…”

“…Відомо, що алкоголь є тератогеном не-зворотної дії на центральну нервову систему (ЦНС) [16]. Клінічні та патоморфологічні досліджен-ня у людей та тварин стосовно впливу пренаталь-ного алкоголю демонструють структурні і функціо-нальні зміни головного мозку та той факт, що алко-голь може викликати шкідливі ефекти на всіх ста-діях вагітності [9,10, 14]. Значний вплив алкоголю протягом першого триместру пов'язаний з розвит-ком у плода структурних аномалій, включаючи ано-малії головного мозку; вживання алкоголю в друго-му триместрі підвищує ризик спонтанного аборту; а в третьому триместрі переважно впливає на вагу, довжину і зростання мозку [15].…”
