Question 1

what are some pediatric congenital diseases?

Accepted Answer

A long list: congenital diseases exist in basically every organ system in the body. They can be diagnosed based on appearance starting with blood work in a pregnant mother and ultrasounds of the fetus and then any time after birth. The severity can range from incompatible with life, to severe and life-threatening, and there even are some congenital diseases that aren't diagnosed until adulthood if ever.

Question 2

are congenital diseases the same as birth defects?

Accepted Answer

Terminology issue: Defects in the formation of the heart are sometimes labeled as "congenital heart disease" to distinguish them from the diseases of the adult heart. The term is rarely used for cleft lip or open spine defects that are more readily termed birth defects. One could be born with an infection at birth, but it is more a transient visitor than a birth defect,Medical terms must be judged by their context.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Question 6

what congenital disease causes organs to be  deattached from the body?

Accepted Answer

Confusing question: There is a process where the stomach &  intestines do not completely enter the abdomen from their formation area in the embryonic sac. This is called gastroschesis. I no of no other entity where this description would apply. If you are thinking of something else please be more specific of the organs involved.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Facial palsy: I assume you are asking about facial palsy or paralysis. Congenitalmeans present at birth. Birth trauma, especially if lots of head molding or a forceps delivery can injure facial nerve. There are also a couple of conditions with facial nerve involvement at birth - Dystrophia myotonica and Mobius syndrome. Treatment may be anything from nothing to Botox to surgical intervention for nerve repair.
