Requires all the following criteria: |
A. | Typical facial features, including at least 2 of the following: | |
| - short palpebral fissures (below 10th percentile)
- thin upper lip (4 or 5 on lip/philtrum guide)
- smooth philtrum (4 or 5 on lip/philtrum guide)
| |
B. | Prenatal and/or postnatal growth deficiency | |
| - Growth deficiency starts during fetal period, may partially improve by growth. Measurements at birth are always assessed first.
- Height or weight < -2 SD, relative weight < -10%
| |
C. | Deficient brain growth, structural abnormality or cognitive impairment, manifested as | |
| - structural abnormality detected in brain imaging or
- head circumference < -2 SD or
- multiform impairment of learning ability or behaviour, which cannot be explained by hereditary or environmental factors. Such features include e.g. difficulty in performing complex tasks (e.g. problem-solving ability, planning and evaluation of tasks, mathematical tasks); difficulty in performing demanding linguistic tasks (understanding and production); behavioural special features (e.g. difficulties in interpersonal relations, emotional sensitivity).

- Growth deficiency starts during fetal period, may partially improve by growth. Measurements at birth are always assessed first.
- Height or weight < -2 SD, relative weight < -10%
- deficient growth or structural abnormality of the brain as in the FAS criteria

ARND = alcohol-related neurobehavioural disorder |
---|
| - Multiform impairment of learning ability or behaviour, which cannot be explained by hereditary or environmental factors. Such features include e.g. difficulty in performing complex tasks (e.g. problem-solving ability, planning and evaluation of tasks, mathematical tasks); difficulty in performing demanding linguistic tasks (understanding and production); behavioural special features (e.g. difficulties in interpersonal relations, emotional sensitivity).
- ARND may also include growth deficiency, but not typical facial features.
