Foetal alcohol syndrome is characterised by craniofacial abnormalities, central nervous system abnormalities and growth deficiencies. This review shall highlight various effects of alcohol on craniofacial development, epigenetics, glia, the gamma-aminobutyric system, neovascularisation and cell death in the developing foetus.
