Congenital abnormality refers to a birth defect that occurs when the fetus is developing in the uterus. It can affect various parts of the body, including the heart, brain, or limbs. To describe such conditions, one can also use other synonyms such as birth defects, developmental disorders, congenital anomalies, or congenital malformations. Other specific terms depending on the affected body part can be used, such as neural tube defects, cleft lip and palate, or clubfoot. Although congenital abnormalities are present at birth, they may not always be immediately noticeable and may require medical diagnosis and intervention. It is crucial to detect and manage these abnormalities early on to ensure proper health and development of the affected individual.
