Congenital deformities are physical abnormalities present at birth that can range from minor anomalies with little or no long-term effect on health to severe disabilities that require lifelong medical attention. Some common congenital deformities include cleft lip and palate, clubfoot, heart defects, spinal cord defects, and Down syndrome. Advances in medical technology and treatment options have greatly improved the quality of life for individuals born with these conditions. However, prevention through measures such as proper prenatal care and genetic counseling is still the best approach to reducing the incidence of congenital deformities.
