Several types of structural defects are commonly observed in neonates. These include:
Congenital Heart Defects: These are abnormalities in the heart's structure and function, such as atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, and tetralogy of Fallot. Neural Tube Defects: These involve incomplete development of the brain and spinal cord, such as spina bifida and anencephaly. Craniofacial Defects: These affect the skull and facial bones, including cleft lip and palate. Gastrointestinal Defects: These include anomalies like esophageal atresia, gastroschisis, and omphalocele. Genitourinary Defects: These involve the urinary and genital organs, such as hypospadias and bladder exstrophy.
