Congenital anomalies can be defined as structural or functional
disorders, including metabolic disorders. The prevalence of congenital anomalies
is not high.
Case Presentation:
We would like to present a 34-week- preterm
neonate with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency who was born with
several fetal anomalies from consanguineous parents. Mother had a twin-birth
pregnancy which one of twins died because of lung hemorrhage and the second
twin was born with multiple anomalies four fingers in both hands, short legs
attached to the pelvic bone, and absence of tibia, fibula, and ankle bones. Hemi-
melia, which was mostly known as the congenital deformity and a type of phoc
-
omelia, is extremely rare. To detect most of these types of anomalies, magnet
-
ic resonance imaging, radiography, ultrasound, and computed tomography scan
can be used.
Conclusion:
Congenital anomalies are the cause of many infants’
deaths. To detect most of these types of anomalies, MRI, radiography, ultrasound,
and computed tomography (CT) scan can be used
