1Abnormalities, Drug-InducedCongenital abnormalities caused by medicinal substances or drugs of abuse given to or taken by the mother, or to which she is inadvertently exposed during the manufacture of such substances. The concept excludes abnormalities resulting from exposure to non-medicinal chemicals in the environment.Congenital abnormalityD000014
2Abnormalities, MultipleCongenital abnormalities that affect more than one organ or body structure.Congenital abnormalityD000015
3Abnormalities, Severe TeratoidMarked developmental anomalies of a fetus or infant.Congenital abnormalityD009008
4AnencephalyA malformation of the nervous system caused by failure of the anterior neuropore to close. Infants are born with intact spinal cords, cerebellums, and brainstems, but lack formation of neural structures above this level. The skull is only partially formed but the eyes are usually normal. This condition may be associated with folate deficiency. Affected infants are only capable of primitive (brain stem) reflexes and usually do not survive for more than two weeks. (From Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p247)Congenital abnormality | Nervous system diseaseD000757
5AnophthalmosCongenital absence of the eye or eyes.Congenital abnormality | Eye diseaseD000853
6Anorectal MalformationsCongenital defects in the anus and the rectum often involving the urinary and genital tracts.Congenital abnormality | Digestive system diseaseD000071056
7Anus, ImperforateA congenital abnormality characterized by the persistence of the anal membrane, resulting in a thin membrane covering the normal ANAL CANAL. Imperforation is not always complete and is treated by surgery in infancy. This defect is often associated with NEURAL TUBE DEFECTS; MENTAL RETARDATION; and DOWN SYNDROME.Congenital abnormality | Digestive system diseaseD001006
8Aortic CoarctationA birth defect characterized by the narrowing of the AORTA that can be of varying degree and at any point from the transverse arch to the iliac bifurcation. Aortic coarctation causes arterial HYPERTENSION before the point of narrowing and arterial HYPOTENSION beyond the narrowed portion.Cardiovascular disease | Congenital abnormalityD001017
9asthenozoospermiaA condition in which the percentage of motile sperm is abnormally low.Urogenital disease (male)D053627
10Bladder ExstrophyA birth defect in which the URINARY BLADDER is malformed and exposed, inside out, and protruded through the ABDOMINAL WALL. It is caused by closure defects involving the top front surface of the bladder, as well as the lower abdominal wall; SKIN; MUSCLES; and the pubic bone.Congenital abnormality|Urogenital disease (female)|Urogenital disease (male)D001746
11Brain Anomalies, Retardation, Ectodermal Dysplasia, Skeletal Malformations, Hirschsprung Disease, Ear-Eye Anomalies, Cleft Palate-Cryptorchidism, And Kidney Dysplasia-HypoplasiaCongenital abnormality | Digestive system disease | Genetic disease (inborn) | Mental disorder | Nervous system disease | Signs and symptoms | Skin diseaseC564519
12Cardiovascular AbnormalitiesCongenital, inherited, or acquired anomalies of the CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM, including the HEART and BLOOD VESSELS.Cardiovascular disease | Congenital abnormalityD018376
13Congenital AbnormalitiesMalformations of organs or body parts during development in utero.Congenital abnormalityD000013
14Craniofacial AbnormalitiesCongenital structural deformities, malformations, or other abnormalities of the cranium and facial bones.Congenital abnormality|Musculoskeletal diseaseD019465
15cryptorchidismA developmental defect in which a TESTIS or both TESTES failed to descend from high in the ABDOMEN to the bottom of the SCROTUM. Testicular descent is essential to normal SPERMATOGENESIS which requires temperature lower than the BODY TEMPERATURE. Cryptorchidism can be subclassified by the location of the maldescended testis.Congenital abnormality|Endocrine system disease|Urogenital disease (male)D003456
