Congenital Gastrointestinal Malformations

Congenital gastrointestinal malformations are birth defects affecting the digestive system. These conditions can involve abnormalities in the structure of organs like the stomach, intestines, or esophagus, leading to issues such as blockage, improper development, or misplaced organs. Symptoms might include difficulty feeding, vomiting, or abdominal swelling in infants. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial, often requiring surgery to correct the malformations and support normal digestion. While these conditions can pose significant health challenges, many affected children can lead healthy lives with proper medical care.
