| congenital hernia of the diaphragm | A condition present at birth where there is abnormal protrusion of abdominal contents upward through a defect in the diaphragm. This condition is treated as a surgical emergency due to interference with the infant's breathing. Smaller, less serious diaphragmatic hernias may also be seen in adults. (27 Sep 1997) |
| congenital hip dislocation | A malformation of the hip joint that is present at birth. Genetic factors likely play a role in this disorder. Features include hip dislocation, asymmetry of leg positions, asymmetric fat folds and diminished movement on the affected side. Some children will exhibit little or no features and must be diagnosed by physical examination of the hip joints. (27 Sep 1997) |

| congenital hydrocele | A collection of fluid in the unobliterated processus vaginalis leading from the abdominal cavity to the investing sac of the testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| congenital hydrocephalus | Hydrocephalus due to a developmental defect of the brain. Synonym: primary hydrocephalus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| congenital hypoplastic anaemia | Congenital nonregenerative, familial hypoplastic, or pure red cell anaemia; erythrogenesis imperfecta; Diamond-Blackfan syndrome; autosomal recessive normocytic normochromic anaemia resulting from congenital hypoplasia of the bone marrow, which is grossly deficient in erythroid precursors while other elements are normal; anaemia is progressive and severe, but leukocyte and platelet counts are normal or slightly reduced; survival of transfused erythrocytes is normal; minor congenital anomalies are found in some patients. Synonym: congenital nonregenerative anaemia, Diamond-Blackfan anaemia, Diamond-Blackfan syndrome, erythrogenesis imperfecta, familial hypoplastic anaemia, pure red cell anaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| congenital hypothyroidism | Lack of thyroid secretion. See: infantile hypothyroidism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma | A genodermatosis characterised by diffuse chronic erythema and scale formation which may be separated into bullous and nonbullous forms. Synonym: ichthyosiform erythroderma, ichthyosis spinosa, keratoma malignum. (05 Mar 2000) |

| congenital insensitivity to pain | <radiology> Autosomal recessive, neuropathic joints, micro- and macrofractures, epiphyseal separation, osteomyelitis (mandible, fingers, toes) Differential diagnosis: congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (autosomal recessive), hereditary sensory radicular neuropathy (autosomal recessive), congenital sensory neuropathy (autosomal dominant), familial dysautonomia (autosomal recessive), Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (X recessive) (12 Dec 1998) |
| congenital kidney abnormalities | Kidney abnormalities that are present from birth (for example polycystic kidneys). (27 Sep 1997) |
| congenital leukoderma | The absence of pigmentation in the hair, skin and eyes, usually autosomal recessive. Inheritance: autosomal recessive. (27 Sep 1997) |
| congenital lobar emphysema | <radiology> Caused by bronchial cartilage abnormality, SOLID mass at birth: dilated alveoli filled with foetal lung fluid, usually in UPPER lobes (including RML), Treatment: surgical lobectomy Cf: cystic adenomatoid malformation (12 Dec 1998) |
| congenital lymphedema | Permanent pitting oedema usually confined to the legs; two types, congenital (Milroy's disease ), or with onset at about the age of puberty (Meige's disease ); autosomal dominant inheritance. (05 Mar 2000) |
