High-Yield Explanation
Ans. D. All of aboveCongenital anomalies are a major cause of stillbirths and neonatal deaths, but they are perhaps even more important as causes of acute illness and long-term morbidity. Early recognition of anomalies is important for planning care; with some, such as tracheoesophageal fistula, diaphragmatic hernia, choanal atresia, and intestinal obstruction, immediate medical and surgical therapy is essential for survival. Parents are likely to feel anxious and guilty on learning of the existence of a congenital anomaly and require sensitive counseling.Common Life-Threatening Congenital AnomaliesNAMEMANIFESTATIONSChoanal atresiaRespiratory distress in delivery room, apnea, unable to pass nasogastric tube through nares.
