maternal diabetes has teratogenic effects on the evolution of the fetal cardiovascular system; as a consequence, cardiovascular malformations are the most common anomalies in infants of diabetic mothers. the present study focuses on the association of all types of diabetes in mothers with the incidence of congenital cardiovascular malformations in their infants. in this retrospective case-contr...

introduction: orofacial clefts are among the most common congenital anomalies. patients presenting with orofacial clefts often require surgery or other complex procedures. a cleft lip or palate can be a single anomaly or a part of multiple congenital anomalies. the reported prevalence of cleft disease and associated anomalies varies widely across the literature, and is dependent on the diagnost...

the majority of coronary artery fistulas (cafs) are congenital. the anomaly accounts for 0.4% of congenital heart defects and approximately 50% of pediatric coronary vasculature anomalies. twenty percent of people with congenital cafs have other concomitant cardiac anomalies, most frequently aortic and pulmonary atresia and patent ductus arteriosus. it is worthy of note that caf with the tetral...

Aplasia Cutis Conginita (ACC) is a condition characterized by congenital absence of skin, usually on the scalp. ACC can occur as an isolated condition or in the presence of other congenital anomalies. Here we describe a case of a 16 days old baby girl with an isolated ACC of the scalp. Her elder two siblings have been diagnosed with ACC with concomitant cardiac or limb anomalies. The patient wa...

Considerable numbers of congenital cardiac anomalies are missed at the time of delivery. Study reports show that congenital cardiac anomalies are the second most common birth defect in many countries. Despite this fact, our previous study showed that the prevalence of congenital cardiac anomalies is the fifth most common one, indicating that many of these defects might not be properly diagnosed...
