Congenital Malformations
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Congenital malformations are abnormalities in the structure or functioning of an organ or part of the body that are present from birth. They can affect the heart, the nervous system, the limbs, or other systems, and vary greatly in type and impact.
Which specialists treat them? Depending on the organ involved, the pediatrician, the neonatologist, the pediatric cardiologist, or the geneticist take part, evaluating each particular case together.
Causes and associated factors: they may be related to genetic factors, environmental factors, or a combination of both; in many cases a single cause is not identified.
When is evaluation worthwhile? Some are detected during pregnancy and others after birth. When there are doubts about a baby's development, the most prudent course is to see the appropriate medical team for a careful assessment.
