Congenital vascular anomalies are although rare but may cause serious complications. Vascular pathologies are best demonstrated by contrast enhanced computed tomography, with the advent of multidetector computed tomography and applying multiplanar reformation techniques. However, ultrasound color Doppler and catheter angiography are accessory imaging modalities utilized to rule out vascular ano...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To provide an international perspective on the impact of congenital anomalies on infant mortality from 1950 to 1994. DESIGN Population-based study based on data obtained from vital statistics reported to the World Health Organisation. SETTINGS 36 countries from Europe, the Middle East, the Americas, Asia, and the South Pacific. RESULTS On average, infant mortality declined...

A congenital anomaly is a physical, metabolic, or anatomic deviation from the normal pattern of development that is present at birth. Minor congenital anomalies do not have medical or cosmetic importance, but detection of more than three such anomalies may reveal the prenatal origin of a disorder. The aim of the present study was to establish an association between the presence of minor congeni...

Congenital anomalies are a major cause of stillbirths and neonatal mortality. The pattern and preva-lence of congenital anomalies may vary over time or with geographical location. The aim of this pa-per is to determine the pattern of congenital anomalies in newborns and to study maternal and peri-natal risk factors. This prospective case study was carried out in the Obstetrics and Gynaecology d...

BACKGROUND Pulmonary arteries are not just affected by thrombus. Congenital and acquired conditions can also involve the pulmonary arteries. An awareness of these conditions is important for the radiologist interpreting chest computed tomography (CT). METHODS The anatomy of the pulmonary arteries was reviewed. CT and magnetic resonance (MR) acquisition protocols for imaging the pulmonary arte...

BACKGROUND Congenital anomalies play a significant role in perinatal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. The frequency of these congenital anomalies varies in different populations. Objective of this study was to find out the frequencies of congenital anomalies admitted in nursery of Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad. METHODS In this descriptive, cross-sectional study all patients admitted...

Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) are 1 of the major factors in young adults needing renal replacement therapy, but there is little extensive assessment of their incidence and risk factors. This study aimed to evaluate trends in the incidence of and risk factors for CAKUT among all births in Taiwan.This population-based case-control study design was conducted using th...

AIM To describe the survival to age 5 years of children born with congenital anomalies. METHODS Between 1980 and 1997, 6153 live born cases of congenital anomaly were diagnosed and registered by the population based Glasgow Register of Congenital Anomalies. They were retrospectively followed to assess their survival status from birth up to the age of 5 years. RESULTS The proportions of all ...

BACKGROUND Congenital anomalies play a significant role in perinatal and infantile morbidity and mortality. There is a variation in the frequency of congenital anomalies in different populations. Determination of the prevalence of different types of congenital anomalies may help plan primary prevention measures for these anomalies. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence at ...
