Examples of congenital disorder in the following topics:
-
- Congenital disorders, conditions existing at birth that often develop during gestation, are generically grouped regardless of cause.
- A congenital disorder, or congenital disease, is a condition existing at birth and often before birth, or that develops during the first month of life (neonatal disease) regardless of causation.
- A congenital disorder may be the result of genetic abnormalities, the intrauterine (uterus) environment, errors of morphogenesis, infection, or a chromosomal abnormality.
- Congenital disorders vary widely in causation and abnormalities.
- Genetic disorders or diseases are all congenital, although they may not be expressed or recognized until later in life.
-
- Albinism is a congenital disorder characterized by the complete or partial absence of pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes.
- Albinism is a congenital disorder characterized by the complete or partial absence of pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes due to he absence of or defect in an enzyme involved in the production of melanin .
-
- Spina bifida is a developmental congenital disorder caused by the incomplete closing of the embryonic neural tube.
- Spina bifida (Latin: "split spine") is a developmental congenital disorder caused by the incomplete closing of the embryonic neural tube.
-
- Nasal septum deviation (displacement) is a common physical disorder of the nose that may require corrective surgery.
- Nasal septum deviation (displacement) is a common physical disorder of the nose.
- It can also be a congenital disorder caused by compression of the nose during childbirth or due to Marfan syndrome.
- Patients may also complain of difficulty breathing, headaches, bloody noses, or of sleeping disorders such as snoring or sleep apnea.
-
- All of these disorders may give rise to goiter, which is an enlarged thyroid.
- Hypothyroid disorders may occur as a result of congenital thyroid abnormalities, autoimmune disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, iodine deficiency (more likely in poorer countries), or the removal of the thyroid following surgery to treat severe hyperthyroidism or thyroid cancer.
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis or Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disorder whereby the body's own immune system reacts with the thyroid tissues in an attempt to destroy it.
- A persistent thyroglossal duct or cyst is the most common clinically significant congenital anomaly of the thyroid gland.
- Differentiate among the types of thyroid gland disorders: hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and thyroid nodules
-
- Primary Immunodeficiency is also known as "congenital immunodeficiencies. " Many of these disorders are hereditary and are autosomal recessive or X-linked.
-
- Valve problems may be congenital (inborn) or acquired (due to another cause later in life).
- Valvular heart disease includes aortic and mitral valve disorders, and pulmonary and tricuspid valve disorders.
- Heart valve dysplasia is an error in the development of any of the heart valves, and a common cause of congenital heart defects in humans as well as animals; tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital heart defect with four abnormalities, one of which is stenosis of the pulmonary valve.
-
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia refers to an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutated genes for enzymes that produce cortisol from cholesterol.
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) refers to any of several autosomal recessive diseases resulting from mutations of genes for enzymes mediating the biochemical steps of production of cortisol from cholesterol by the adrenal glands (steroidogenesis).
- CAH is a genetic disorder in which girls are masculinized because the adrenal glands secrete large amounts of androgen during prenatal development.
- The defects causing adrenal hyperplasia are congenital (i.e., present at birth).
- In all its forms, congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency accounts for about 95% of diagnosed cases of CAH.
-
- Cluster B disorders include antisocial personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and borderline personality disorder.
- ASPD is considered to be a difficult personality disorder to treat.
- Recently, more attention has been given to investigating the role played by congenital brain abnormalities, genetics, neurobiological factors, and environmental factors other than trauma.
- The hippocampus tends to be smaller in those who suffer from this disorder, as it is in people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
- Another theory suggests that histrionic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder could have a possible relationship to one another.
-
- Addison's disease and congenital adrenal hyperplasia can manifest as adrenal insufficiency.
- Other cases are due to congenital adrenal hyperplasia or an adenoma (tumor) of the adrenal gland.
- Evaluate the types of adrenal insufficiency that lead to adrenal gland disorders
