Upper airway obstruction in infants with fetal alcohol syndrome
A. G. Usowicz, M. Golabi and C. Curry
Fetal alcohol syndrome is a well-known entity, but its association with
upper airway anomalies has not been established. We describe three
patients, all of whom had fetal alcohol syndrome and upper airway
obstruction. Recognition of this problem is important, as it may help to
prevent serious complications such as obstructive apnea, sudden infant
death syndrome, or pulmonary hypertension in these already compromised
infants.
