Congenital Anomaly is an anomaly that affects a body part or physiologic function and is present at birth.The exact antenatal prevalence of congenital anomalies in Libya is unknown. Early antenatal diagnosis of congenital anomalies is crucial for early counseling, intervention and possible fetal therapy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the pattern of congenital anomalies and malformations for all cases were admitted in neonatal care unit in our hospital. This hospital based prospective descriptive study highlights the point pattern of congenital anomalies in one year. The number of congenital anomalies were 73 cases more in males than Female (M: F = 1.5: 1%). The pattern of congenital anomalies included CVS (36.3%), GIT (16.5%), genitourinary (14.3%), musculoskeletal (11%), CNS (6.6%), respiratory (4.4%), etc. In CVS the most common anomalies were ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect and patent ducts. In GIT group, commonly imperforated anus followed by esophageal Artesia. In musculoskeletal group, telipes was most common malformation followed by spinabifida. In CNS, group hydrocephalus was the most common malformation followed by anencephaly and meningomyeleceole. Frequency of congenital anomalies was more in vaginal delivery as compared to cesarean born babies (2.7 % vs. 1.58%). in still born as compared to live born babies (5.5 % vs. 1.5 %) Present study stress upon the importance to carrying out Congenital Anomalies through clinical examination of neonate at birth.
