Congenital Deformities
Congenital deformities are physical abnormalities present at birth, resulting from genetic or environmental factors during pregnancy. These conditions can affect various parts of the body, including limbs, organs, and facial features. Examples include cleft lip, clubfoot, and spina bifida.
The severity of congenital deformities can vary widely, with some requiring surgical intervention and others having minimal impact on daily life. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve outcomes, and ongoing medical care may be necessary to manage associated complications. Awareness and research continue to advance understanding and support for affected individuals and families.
