Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Respiratory difficulties are not a category of conditions that are related to FAS.Abnormalities related to FAS include organ deformities,genital malformations,and kidney and urinary defects.Impaired growth is a visible marker for FAS.CNS abnormalities with neurologic and intellectual impairments are categories used to assist in the diagnosis of FAS.An infant with FAS manifests at least two craniofacial abnormalities,such as microcephaly,short palpebral fissures,poorly developed philtrum,thin upper lip,or flattening of the maxilla.
