Q07: Other congenital malformations of nervous system
The category, other congenital malformations of the nervous system, includes a group of conditions present at birth that impact the structure or function of the nervous system. Mostly caused due to genetic abnormalities or harmful environmental factors during pregnancy, these conditions are not contagious. They are characterized by varying symptoms, majorly determined by the area of the nervous system affected. Common symptoms may include muscle weakness, lack of coordination, seizures, developmental delays, or learning disabilities. The progression of these conditions is typically progressive, and they often become evident shortly after birth, as the child starts to miss developmental milestones. These conditions can impact all systems of the body, as the nervous system plays a key role in coordinating the body's activities.
