Classifying cardiac lesions in infants is quite difficult, and accurate diagnosis is essential. The diagnosis of Shone’s syndrome requires an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) and a cardiac catheterization procedure, that is, insertion of a device through blood vessels in the groin to the heart that helps identify heart anatomy.

A number of genetic conditions are associated with heart defects, including Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and Marfan syndrome. [3] Congenital heart defects are divided into two main groups: cyanotic heart defects and non-cyanotic heart defects, depending on whether the child has the potential to turn bluish in color. [3]
Multiple congenital anomalies-hypotonia-seizures syndrome is a rare multi-systemic genetic disorder which is characterized by developmental delay, seizures, hypotonia and heart, urinary, and gastrointestinal abnormalities.

[1] [15] Also referenced as Nicolaus Steno in Latin, Stensen was a pioneer in anatomy and geology, his work making significant specific contribution to the fields of cardiac anatomy and pathology. [9] A further description was published in 1888 by the French physician Étienne-Louis Arthur Fallot, after whom it was ultimately named.
The most common vaginal anomaly is an imperforate hymen. This anomaly occurs often enough that it can be detected by some pediatricians shortly after birth. It can be corrected through a minor surgery and may be delayed until puberty. [46] The hymen can be unusually thick or partially obstructed by the presence of fibrous bands of tissue. An ...
Minor physical anomalies (MPAs) are relatively minor (typically painless and, in themselves, harmless) congenital physical abnormalities consisting of features such as low-set ears, single transverse palmar crease, telecanthus, micrognathism, macrocephaly, hypotonia and furrowed tongue.
The prevalence of vaginal agenesis or class I uterine anomalies is 1:5000 female live births globally. The most prevalent form of vaginal agenesis is Mayer–Rokitansky–Kuster–Hauser (MRKH) syndrome and results in congenital aplasia or hypoplasia of Müllerian derived structures. [9] MRKH syndrome account for 5% to 10% of all Müllerian ...
