Abstract

Congenital anomalies are morphological or functional abnormalities that develop during pregnancy. Congenital malformations, often known as birth defects, congenital diseases, or congenital abnormalities, are prenatal conditions that can be detected sooner or later in life. An estimated 6% of infants worldwide are born with a congenital abnormality, resulting in tens of thousands of fatalities. However, the true number of cases could be far higher because records don't always include terminated pregnancies and stillbirths. Cleft lip and palate, clubfoot, and hernias are just a few examples of congenital defects that can be treated surgically or non-surgically. Other conditions, including as coronary heart disease, neural tube abnormalities, and down syndrome, can have long-term consequences. Congenital abnormalities are a major contributor to the global disease burden, with low and middle-income countries bearing a disproportionate share of the burden. These areas are also less likely to have centres for reversible conditions like clubfoot, resulting in more severe and long-term consequences. Keywords: Congenital anomalies, Congenital malformations, Clubfoot, Hernias, Neural tube defects.
