Rare malformative syndromes: a series of 18 syndromes

Although the cause of congenital malformations is often unknown, certain genetic and environmental factors, as well as infections, increase the risk of developing these anomalies.This is a retro spective descriptive study covering 3 years with a collection of 18 cases.There were 18 cases of malformative syndromes: (Ballantyne syndrome, Patau syndrome, Edward syndrome, TRAP sequence, holoprosencephaly, cardiac rhabdomyoma, laparoschisis, omphalocele, partial situs inversus, Potter syndrome, cystic adenomatoid pneumopathy, Joubert syndrome, meconium peritonitis, Beckwith Widemann syndrome, Cephalopagus, meningoencephalocele, OEIS syndrome, neonatal bullous pemphigoide).Rare malformative syndromes form a specific group within the category of congenital diseases.The burden of these syndromes is high worldwide, with a relative increase in low- and medium-resource countries.
