Q87: Other specified congenital malformation syndromes affecting multiple systems
The group of conditions referred to as "Other specified congenital malformation syndromes affecting multiple systems" are a collection of disorders that are present at birth and impact several body systems simultaneously. These conditions often result from genetic issues or environmental influences during fetal development. The exact symptoms and affected systems can vary widely depending on the specific syndrome, but may include developmental delays, physical abnormalities, and the impaired function of systems like the heart, lungs, endocrine system, or nervous system. Over time, these conditions often result in ongoing health challenges and may progress in severity. While they are typically lifelong conditions, the symptoms and impacts on the individual's life can sometimes be managed with appropriate medical and therapeutic support.
