Correlations between brain abnormalities and measures of alcohol exposure or facial dysmorphology

First author, year Subjects Findings
Astley et al. 2009 30 FAS/pFAS, 30 SE:AE # Drinking days/week—midsagittal area, hippocampal volume, length of corpus callosum
Max # drinks/occasion—frontal lobe volume, caudate volume, hippocampal volume
Cortese et al. 2006 10 exposed (7 FAS), 4 HC Amount of alcohol consumed at conception—caudate volume
Roussotte et al. 2011 17 exposed # drinks/week in 1st trimester—intracranial volume
Facial Dysmorphology
Astley et al. 2009 30 FAS/pFAS, 30 SE:AE FAS/pFAS group had smaller area/volume than SE:AE group for: midsagittal brain and cerebellar area, frontal lobe total and gray matter volume, putamen volume
Roussotte et al. 2011 52 exposed Palpebral fissure length—ventral diencephalon volume
Lipometer—thalamus and left pallidum volume
