| A | B |
|---|
| atresia | absence of normal body opening or the abnormal closure of a body passage |
| atrial septal defect | an abnormal opening between the right and left atria |
| bradycephaly | shortness of the head |
| chordee | chord-like anomaly that extends from the scrotum to the penis |
| coarctation of the aorta | a constriction or narrowing of the aortic arch or the descending aorta usually adjacent to the ligamentum arteriosum |
| cogestive heart failure (CHF) | result of impaired pumping capability of the heart |
| cyanotic heart disease | congenital heart diseasee that causes right to left shunting of blood in the heart |
| episadias | condition in which the opening of the urinary meatus is located abnormally on the dorsal surface of the glans penis |
| galactosemia | recessive hereditary metabolic disorder in which the enzyme necessary for converting galactose into glucose is missing |
| hernia | abnormal protursion of part of an organ through a weak spot or other abnormal opening in a body wall |
| congentital hip dysplasia | defective development of the acetabulum, with or without dislocation |
| hypothermia | low body temperature |
| imperforate anus | congenital disorder in which the rectal pouch ends blindly above the anus and there is no anal orifice |
| phenylketonuria (PKU) | recessive hereditary defect of metabolism that results in a congenital disease caused by a defect in the enzyme that normally changes the essential amino acid, phenylalanine, into tyrosine |
| pulmonary stenosis | narrowing of the opening between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery that decreases blood flow to the lungs |
| right ventricular hypertrophy | increase in thickness of myocardium of the right ventricle |
| spina bifida | failure of posterior lamina of the vertebrae to close; leaves an opening through which the spinal meninges and spinal cord may protrude |
| supernumerary | excessive in number |
| talipes equinovarus | clubfoot with plantar flexion |
| tetralogy of Fallot | a grouping of heart defects (four abnormal conditions) |
| transposition of the great arteries | occurs when the aorta arises from the right ventricle instead of the left, and the pulmonary artery arises from the left ventricle instead of the right |
| ventricular septal defect | abnnormal opening in the sptum of the heart between the ventricles; allows blood to pass directly from theleft to the right side of the heart; the most common intracrdiac defect |
| ventriculoatrial shunting | plastic tubing implanted into the cerebral ventricle passing under the skin to the cardiac atrium; provides drainage for excessive cerebrospinal fluid |
| ventriculoperitoneal shunting | plastic tubing implanted into the cerebral ventricle passing under the skin to the peritoneal cavity, providing drainage for excessive cerebrospinal fluid |
