Alder's anomaly  an autosomal dominant condition in which leukocytes of the myelocytic series, and sometimes all leukocytes, contain coarse azurophilic granules.

Chédiak-Higashi anomaly  see under syndrome.

congenital anomaly  a developmental anomaly present at birth.

developmental anomaly 

1. a structural abnormality of any type.

2. a defect resulting from imperfect embryonic development.

Ebstein's anomaly  a malformation of the tricuspid valve, usually associated with an atrial septal defect.

Ebstein's anomaly, showing displacement of the septal and posterior leaflets of the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle and accompanied by a patent foramen ovale.

May-Hegglin anomaly  an autosomal dominant disorder of blood cell morphology, characterized by RNA-containing cytoplasmic inclusions (similar to Döhle bodies) in granulocytes, by large, poorly granulated platelets, and by thrombocytopenia.

Pelger's nuclear anomaly  Pelger-Huët nuclear a. (1).

Pelger-Huët nuclear anomaly 

1. a hereditary or acquired defect in which the nuclei of neutrophils and eosinophils appear rodlike, spherical, or dumbbell-shaped; the nuclear structure is coarse and lumpy.

2. an acquired condition with similar features, occurring in certain anemias and leukemias.

anomaly

marked deviation from normal. For specific anomalies see under anatomical location.

---

developmental anomaly

absence, deformity or excess of body parts as the result of faulty development of the embryo.

lethal anomaly

a defect which is incompatible with life and leads to the natural death or euthanasia on humane grounds of the neonate concerned.

sex-limited anomaly

limited in its occurrence by the sex of the neonate, e.g. cryptorchidism.

sex-linked anomaly

the gene responsible for the defect is located on the X or the Y chromosome, the sex determinative ones.

Patient discussion about anomalistically.

Q. Is it a birth defect in children? I know about the causes of autism. Is it a birth defect in children?

A. it's not an easy answer i'm afraid...there are congenital differences, but no "birth defect" that we can detect. there's a good pdf file that gives a full explanation about it...i think you'll find it useful:
