Q80-Q89: Other congenital malformations
Q89: Other congenital malformations, not elsewhere classified
The specific group referred to as 'Other congenital malformations, not elsewhere classified', covers a wide range of conditions present at birth but not fitting neatly into other categories. These can include problems with the body's structure, functions, or body chemistry. These malformations may occur in any part of the body and can vary from mild to severe. They can be isolated, affecting one part of the body, or part of a syndrome, affecting multiple areas. While causes can be quite diverse, some of these conditions arise due to genetic abnormalities or issues in development during pregnancy. Common symptoms depend on the specific malformation and can include physical deformities and functional disorders. The progression of these conditions is unique to each individual and may remain stable or worsen over time. Various body systems can be impacted, like the heart, brain, or skeletal system, dependent upon the specific malformation.
