Abstract
Background: The term congenital malformation signifies disruption in the normal process of organogenesis before birth. This may result in complete or partial absence of a structure or in alteration of its normal configuration.The knowledge of prevalance of congenital malformations help in establishment of preventable programmes. Hence the present study was carried out to find out the frequency of congenital malformations of musculoskeletal system both in live and still born perinates.
Methods: All live and stillborn babies of both sexes, with congenital malformations, were collected from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Assam Medical College and Hospital, Dibrugarh, Assam, from July 2022 to June 2023, and were examined, and epidemiological information was collected from parents in a pretested structured proforma.
Results: Out of 7985 births, 38 cases of congenital malformations were found, 31 (17.41%) were stillbirth and 7 (0.09%) were live birth. The musculoskeletal system involvement was seen in 8 cases with congenital talipes equinovarous (CTVS) deformity and polydactyly being the commonest malformation followed by rudimentary forearm and a case of achondroplasia. Central nervous system anomalies were mostly associated with musculoskeletal system anomalies.
Conclusion: The findings of the present study will help to plan future strategies for prevention, early diagnosis and timely management of cases of congenital malformations of musculoskeletal system.
Key words: congenital talipes equinovarous (CTEV), polydactyly, achondroplasia.
