What are some common congenital abnormalities?

Congenital abnormalities are defects present at birth that can result from genetic factors, environmental influences, or a combination of both. Some common congenital abnormalities include:
- Congenital heart defects: Abnormalities in the heart's structure.
- Neural tube defects: Issues in the development of the brain and spinal cord, like spina bifida.
- Cleft lip and palate: Splits or openings in the upper lip and roof of the mouth.
Understanding the embryological basis of these abnormalities helps in their early detection, prevention, and treatment.
