Abstract

There are no systematic studies of alcolholism or alcohol abuse in patients with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). These case histories illustrate how such patients may present at alcohol treatment vromams, and how failure to recognize their FAS symptomatology can result in inappropriate diagnoses andl managemknt. Awareness of the dual diagnosis of alcoholism and FAS can lead to a more successful treatment outcome.
