Congenital Abnormalities
A congenital abnormality, malformation, or birth defect refers to a condition present at birth.
In Australia 3 to 4 children born out of every 100 will have some form of congenital abnormality.
It you have a family history of any congenital abnormalities, such as cystic fibrosis, blood disorders, neural tube defects, Down Syndrome or cardiac abnormalities, you can see a clinical geneticist, to see if there is a possible risk of you having an affected child.
Below are major congenital abnormalities
Neural
- Anencephalus
- Spina bifida
- Encephalocele
- Microcephalus
- Hydrocephalus
Cardiovascular
- Transposition of great vessels
- Ventricular septal defect
- Hypoplastic left heart
- Coarctaction of aorta
GIT/Respiratory
- Cleft palate
- Cleft lip
- Oesophageal atresia or stenosis
- Small intestine atresia or stenosis
- Anorectal atresia or stenosis
Renal
- Hypospadias
- Renal agenesis and dysgenesis
- Cystic kidney disease
- Obstructive defects of renal pelvis and ureter
Skeletal/Muscular
- Congenital dislocation of the hip
- Limb reduction defects
- Clubfoot
- Diaphragmatic hernia
- Exomphalos
- Gastroschisis
Chromosomal
- Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome)
- Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome)
