Overview

Congenital disorders, also called birth defects, are structural or functional abnormalities that are present at birth and arise during fetal development. They range widely in cause and severity, from genetic and chromosomal conditions to malformations of organs and tissues, and they may have genetic, environmental, or multifactorial origins. In the context of Women's Reproductive Health, congenital disorders are relevant both to inherited syndromes diagnosed in patients and to malformations detected in the developing fetus during pregnancy, where early identification can guide counseling, prenatal management, and delivery planning. The journal's research touches on congenital conditions across these dimensions: "Oral Ellis-Van Creveld Syndrome: A Brief Review of Literature and A Case Report" (2016) describes a rare inherited congenital syndrome and its clinical features, while "Fetal Abdominal Cystic Lesion: A Diagnostic Dilemma and Prognostic Challenge—Report of Two Cases of Mesentric Lymphangioma" (2021) addresses the prenatal detection and assessment of a congenital fetal anomaly. Such case-based work illustrates the diagnostic challenges posed by congenital abnormalities. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to congenital disorders, supporting clinicians and researchers concerned with the diagnosis, characterization, and management of birth defects and developmental abnormalities.
