| cystic adenomatoid malformation of lung, congenital | A developmental anomaly that usually becomes apparent in the neonatal period with progressive respiratory distress. This malformation is a focal pulmonary dysplasia characterised by a multicystic mass of terminal bronchiolar structures. Ccam is classified into 3 separate types (I, II, III) depending on cyst size.

| hip dislocation, congenital | Congenital dislocation of the hip generally includes subluxation of the femoral head, acetabular dysplasia, and complete dislocation of the femoral head from the true acetabulum. This condition occurs in approximately 1 in 1000 live births and is more common in females than in males. (12 Dec 1998) |

| nonbullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma | Erythroderma or a collodion membrane at birth, usually without improvement during childhood, characterised by proliferation of epidermal keratinocytes with lipid accumulation; autosomal recessive inheritance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| syphilis, congenital | Syphilis acquired in utero and manifested by any of several characteristic tooth (hutchinson's teeth) or bone malformations and by active mucocutaneous syphilis at birth or shortly thereafter. Ocular and neurologic changes may also occur. (12 Dec 1998) |

| double congenital athetosis | A type of cerebral palsy manifested predominantly as bilateral involuntary movements, beginning at about the age of 3 years, and preceded by generalised hypotonia and delayed motor development. Due to various causes, including kernicterus and birth hypoxia. Synonym: congenital choreoathetosis, double congenital athetosis, Vogt syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ichthyosiform erythroderma, congenital | Designation for several severe forms of ichthyosis, present at birth, that are characterised by hyperkeratotic scaling. Infants may be born encased in a collodion membrane which begins shedding within 24 hours. This is followed in about two weeks by persistent generalised scaling. The forms include bullous (hyperkeratosis, epidermolytic), non-bullous (ichthyosis, lamellar), wet type, and dry type. (12 Dec 1998) |
