An incidence of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) in maternity, child hospitals and orphanages of St. Petersburg and Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) (RS (Ya)) was investigated. 39 children with FAS from St. Petersburg and 39 ones from Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) were evaluated in detail by means of the standard neurological assessment, Developmental Scales, anthropometry, 4-Digit Diagnostic Code and MRI and Cranial Ultrasound. Even and Sakha children demonstrated significant decrease of palpebral fissure length compared with the europoid babies up to the age of 3 years old. Sakha children had most often ptosis, epicanthus and dilatation of subarachnoidal spaces than St. Petersburg babies regardless of ethnic features. No significant difference between babies' subgroups in physical and neurodevelopment was detected.
