2. Development Problems
The damage caused to children by fetal alcohol syndrome can cause them to experience a number of developmental issues. For example, they can experience deformities of their limbs, joints, and fingers. They will also sometimes have a smaller head circumference than most other children, and their brains will also tend to be smaller.
These development issues can also affect their ears and eyes, leading to problems with their hearing and their vision. The severity of their conditions can vary considerably from patient to patient, with the symptoms being barely noticeable in some children.
