Stippled epiphyses in fetal alcohol syndrome

A Leicher-Düber et al. Pediatr Radiol. 1990.

Abstract

We report on punctate epiphyseal calcifications (stippled epiphyses) in the fetal alcohol syndrome and present the differential diagnosis of chondrodysplasia punctata. A literature survey shows that epiphyseal calcifications accompanying alcoholic embryopathy are regularly located in the lower limbs and rarely found in the upper extremities.
