What are the physical markers of FAS?
The Institute of Medicine has designated three main physical markers for full FAS. The first is a series of distinctive facial features such as small palprebral eye openings, a lack of a philtrum or groove beneath the nose, a thin top lip, microcephalia or a small head, exaggerated epicanthal eye folds (seen normally among Asians and some American Indians), a short snub nose with a lack of a nasal bridge, micrognathia or a small, pointy chin, large, and low, laid back ears with prominent ridges on the outside of the ear.
