“…In most of the studies, central nervous system anomalies appear to be the most common systemic congenital anomalies. 18 The incidence of central nervous system anomaly observed in this study (49.13/10000 women) was almost similar to the study reported by Atkinson et al 19 (44/10000 women). A study from Nepal also found central nervous system anomalies as the most common with higher frequencies of anencephaly followed by hydrocephalus and meningomyelocele and other major defects were related to gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal and genitourinary system.…”

Introduction: To estimate the prevalence and pattern of congenital anomalies through obstetric ultrasound on pregnant women visiting Rapti sub-regional hospital, Ghorahi, Dang, Nepal. Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted among 10,380 pregnant women visiting Radiology department of Rapti sub-regional hospital from January 2016 to July 2017. The findings of transabdominal ultrasonography (USG) performed by Radiologist and information regarding women’sage and gestational age were recorded. The images of any significant cases were also saved. Data wereanalyzed based on study objectives using descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, rangeand standard deviation. The classification of the malformation was done based on the anatomical system. Results: Out of 10,380 ultrasound performed during the study period, 106 (1.02%) pregnant women presented with different congenital anomalies. The antenatal prevalence of congenital anomalies was 10.21 per 1000 pregnant women. The mean maternal age was 25.9 ± 4.80 years. Regarding gestation age, 87 (82.1%) anomalies were detected at second trimester of pregnancy. Most commonly involved body system was central nervous system 51 (48.1%), followed by cardiovascular system 12 (11.3%), musculoskeletal system 10 (9.4%), gastrointestinal system 5 (4.7%), respiratory system 5 (4.7%), genitourinary system 4 (3.8%). Other anomalies were cystic hygroma 9 (8.4%), hydrops fetalis 4 (3.8%), cleft lip 3 (2.8%), pelvic cystic lesion 2 (1.8%) and conjoined twins 1 (0.9%). Conclusion: The prevalence of congenital anomalies is high in mid-western part of Nepal. Central nervous system anomalies were more common than other anomalies.

“…An estimated 6% children worldwide are born with congenital anomalies 11 . Frequency and pattern of congenital anomalies depends on many factors like cultural, environmental and socio economic [12][13][14] . Chromosomal problems and exposure to medicines, chemicals and other toxic substances also play role in congenital birth defects [15][16][17] .…”

Aim: To acknowledge magnitude and spectrum of congenital anomalies of gastrointestinal tract in neonates and to establish possible factors resulting in these congenital anomalies. Material And Methods: The design of this study was Retrospective observational study. This study was conducted at NICU department of pediatric surgery King Edward medical university / Mayo hospital Lahore from June 2021 to May 2022. Neonates admitted in NICU department of pediatric surgery with gastrointestinal congenital anomaly were included in this study. Neonates having congenital anomaly other than GIT were excluded. Patient information regarding diagnosis and possible cause of congenital anomaly was noted on prescribed proforma. Results: During the study period total 256 neonates were admitted in neonatal ICU department of pediatric surgery Mayo hospital Lahore. Out of these 156(60.9%) neonates were having congenital anomalies of gastrointestinal tract while reaming 100(39.1%) neonates were having congenital anomalies of other structures. Most common congenital anomaly of GIT was anorectal malformations 35(22.4%) followed by Intestinal atresia’s in 30(19.2%). Conclusion: Congenital anomalies play an important role in neonatal mortality rate of any developing country like Pakistan. Chromosomal disorders, environmental and infectious factors are major contributing factors. Gastrointestinal tract anomalies are the most common anomalies of neonates with predominance of anorectal malformations. Antenatal care and timely interventions can reduce frequency of these anomalies. Keywords: Congenital anomalies, gastrointestinal tract, pattern.
