Abstract

Disruption of early stages of human development usually happens during the period of organogenesis, which refers to the period between 4th and 8th week of gestation period. This often leads to developmental anomalies (congenital anomalies), which contribute to mortality and morbidity especially in infants. The aim of this study is to describe the amount (frequency) and pattern of distribution of congenital anomalies presenting at Arthur Davison Children
