Birth Defects and Medical Malpractice
In the United States, a baby is born with a defect that occurs every four and quarter minutes. These birth defects can have a lasting effect on the lives of those affected.

Causes
A baby born with injuries or defects could be ill-health for a long time. Birth defects are often the result of an error in medicine or a doctor's negligence during pregnancy.
In some cases birth defects can be prevented by prenatal care and the right nutrition. In some cases, birth defects can be caused through environmental factors like exposure to toxic chemicals or toxins. Birth defects are also caused by complications that occur during pregnancy such as constriction of the uterus rupture of the amniotic sac or the inability to supply oxygen to the foetus (also known as anoxic brain injury).
Some birth defects are caused by genetic disorders which run in families. They can be detected through the use of ultrasound or a blood test. Some of these ailments are treatable or preventable like PKU, sickle cell disease and cleft lip and cleft palate. Other birth defects are not known to have a cause and are known as congenital disorders or congenital anomalies.
Women who are over 30 and of certain ethnicities are at an increased risk of having certain birth defects.

Diagnosis
Birth defects are abnormal growths that may affect any part of the human body. They can impact the way organs function, or the structure of a person. Healthcare professionals can detect birth defects during pregnancy, after a baby is born or during early childhood. Some birth defects are visible such as cleft lips and palates, or craniofacial disorders, while others are less evident, such as congenital heart disease and biliary atresia (an obstruction of the duct carrying the bile into the liver).
Many birth defects are diagnosed through newborn screening tests which look for certain health problems. These include PKU, congenital hypothyroidism and sickle cell disease. Newborn screening also looks for certain genetic disorders, like Down syndrome.

This could include exposure to prescription or over-the-counter medications, chemical substances that are contaminating the air and water of communities, or complications that develop during pregnancy or the birth.

In these situations the possibility of a claim for medical malpractice could be pursued.
Treatment

A majority of birth defects are chromosomal, due to missing or additional genes in a person's cells. These are often inherited from parents. Structural birth defects include things like cleft lips, neural tube defects and heart problems. These birth defects are caused by issues with the development of organs in the baby especially in the first three months of pregnancy.
Screening tests for birth defects may be conducted during pregnancy, after a baby is born or later in life when symptoms start to appear. The tests can be carried out through ultrasounds and blood tests. The patient can also undergo genetic tests for birth defects in order to determine whether they are susceptible to a certain condition.

The use of tobacco, drugs or alcohol during pregnancy could lead to birth defects.
