Congénitalis

Congénitalis is a term used to describe conditions or characteristics that are present at birth. It originates from the Latin word "congenitus," meaning "born with." This means that the condition was not acquired after birth but rather developed during fetal development. Congénitalis can refer to a wide range of conditions, including physical abnormalities, genetic disorders, or functional impairments. Examples include congenital heart defects, congenital deafness, or congenital limb malformations. The causes of congénitalis are diverse and can include genetic mutations, environmental factors such as maternal infections or exposure to certain substances during pregnancy, or a combination of both. Diagnosis often occurs during pregnancy through prenatal screening or after birth through medical examinations. The severity and impact of congénitalis vary greatly, with some conditions being minor and others requiring significant medical intervention or lifelong management. Treatment and support for individuals with congénitalis depend on the specific condition and its effects on health and development.
