background and aims: congenital anomalies are as the major causes of stillbirths, neonatal death, disability and childhood health problems all over the world. the aim of this study was to determine the incidence and pattern of congenital anomalies in newborn during the first 24 hours of life in shahid-madani hospital, azarshahr, tabriz, during two periods 2002-2003 and 2012-2013 years. methods:...

Background: Extracardiac malformations can be seen in 20-45% of infants with congenital heart disease (CHD). Chromosomal abnormalities exist in 5-10% of patients with CHD. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of overt extra cardiac malformations in children with CHD. Methods: This descriptive epidemiologic study was conducted on 720 patients with CHD referred to the pediatric ca...

orofacial clefts, including cleft lip with or without cleft palate (cl (p)), are common congenital malformations, second only to clubfoot in frequency of occurrence. the epidemiology and genetics of this disorder have been studied extensively in various countries by several investigators. the objective of this study is to assess the epidemiology and some genetic aspects of orofacial clefting at...

congenital left ventricular diverticulum is a rare cardiac malformation. two categories of congenital ventricular diverticulum have been identified with regard to their localization: apical and non-apical. apical diverticula are always associated with midline thoraco-abdominal defects and other heart malformations. non-apical diverticula are always isolated defects. diagnosis is established by ...

CMR is valuable in the evaluation of congenital heart disease (CHD). Traditional flow imaging sequences involve cardiac and respiratory gating, increasing scan time and susceptibility to arrhythmias. We studied a real-time color-flow CMR system for the detection of flow abnormalities in 13 adults with CHD. All 16 congenital flow abnormalities previously detected by echocardiography were visuali...

Congenital cardiac anomalies are the most common anomalies, with an estimated incidence of about 4-13 per 1000 live births. Proper perinatal and neonatal management is dependent upon accurate prenatal diagnosis. Approximately 10% of foetuses with cardiac abnormalities have identified risk factors; hence, most of the anomalies occur in pregnancies without prenatal risk factors. Foetal echocardio...

background: the goal of the present study was to report the results of two parallel works in which the incidence of fetal deaths and also congenital malformations among the progenies of the iranian chemical victims were studied. methods: the subjects were progenies of a randomly selected population from survivors of chemical attacks during iran-iraq conflict. totally 807 male cases ranged 18-85...

morning glory syndrome (mgs) is a rare congenital optic disc anomaly characterized by a funnel-shaped, excavated optic disc surrounded by chorioretinal pigmentary disturbance. the main ophthalomoscopic feature of the mgs is enlarged optic disc with a funnel shaped scleral defect; elevated peripapillary chorioretinal pigmentation; and pale fluffy tissue of glial hyperplasia overlying the optic d...
