The term congenital anomalies refers to alterations in the structure or functioning of the body present from birth. They can affect different organs or systems and encompass a wide range of situations, from mild to more complex.
How they are detected: some are identified during pregnancy through studies, others at birth, and certain ones are recognized later depending on how they manifest.
