Abstract
The aim of this study is to describe and analyze the various congenital malformations diagnosed in our department, and to cite some probable etiological factors. Over a one-year period, we collected 81 cases of newborns with clinically apparent congenital malformations. Boys were the most affected in 55.5% of cases, with a sex ratio of 1.25. Musculoskeletal malformations accounted for 30.8% (25 cases), followed by polymalformations 27.1% (22 cases), CNS malformations 22.2%, digestive tract and anterior abdominal wall malformations 12.3% (10 cases) and urogenital malformations 7. 4% (6 cases of hypospadias). We noted a relationship between the occurrence of congenital malformations and advanced maternal age (p<0.05), parity (p<0.05), the presence of a chronic pathology in the mother, mainly diabetes (p=0.02), and family history of congenital malformation (p<0.001).
