congenital anomaly

anomaly /anom·a·ly/ (ah-nom´ah-le) marked deviation from normal, especially as a result of congenital or hereditary defects.anom´alous

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.

congenital anomaly

See birth defect.

congenital anomaly,

any abnormality present at birth, particularly a structural one, which may be inherited genetically, acquired during gestation, or inflicted during parturition. Also called birth defect.

anomaly [ah-nom´ah-le]

marked deviation from normal. adj., adj anom´alous.

Axenfeld's anomaly a developmental anomaly characterized by a circular opacity of the posterior peripheral cornea, and caused by an irregularly thickened, axially displaced Schwalbe's ring.

congenital anomaly (developmental anomaly) absence, deformity, or excess of body parts as the result of faulty development of the embryo.

Ebstein's anomaly see ebstein's anomaly.

May-Hegglin anomaly a rare dominantly inherited 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.

Patient discussion about congenital anomaly.

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:

DISCUSSION Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital anomaly that affects both sexes, with a male-to-female ratio of 16:1.

Splenogonadal fusion by Adeniji, Adejimi O. / Applied Radiology

A serious adverse event is one that results in death, a life-threatening experience, inpatient hospitalization, significant disability or incapacity, or congenital anomaly or birth defect, or one that requires medical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes.
