Congenital Anomalies

Another term for birth defects. Congenital anomalies are disorders of form or function that begin before birth. For example, a birth defect of the heart may occur as early as the 6th week of pregnancy and a cleft lip at about the 5th week. Although many birth defects start long before delivery, they may not be recognized until after birth.
