Functional defects are as frequent as anatomical (or morphological) ones.
Malformation is an intrinsic error in the structural
primordium. If some external force damage an intrinsically well formed structure
there will occur a deformation; if such a
defect is irreversible, it is a disruption.
EUROCAT is a programme supported by the Commission of the European Community for the epidemiologic surveillance of congenital anomalies. |
