Understanding embryogenesis has several clinical implications in Pediatrics:
Congenital Anomalies: Disruptions in these early stages can lead to congenital anomalies such as heart defects, neural tube defects, and limb malformations. Genetic Disorders: Many genetic disorders manifest during embryogenesis. Early detection through prenatal screening can help in the management and counseling of these conditions. Developmental Milestones: Knowledge of normal embryonic development aids pediatricians in assessing whether a child is meeting developmental milestones.
