BIRTH DEFECTS
TREATMENTS |
|
|
|
Treatment depends on the type of birth
defect and how serious it is. When an abnormality has been
identified before birth, then delivery can be planned at a health
care facility that is prepared to offer any special care needed.
Some abnormalities can be corrected with surgery. Experimental
procedures have been used successfully in correcting some defects,
like excessive fluid in the brain (hydrocephalus), even before the
baby is born. Patients with complicated conditions usually need the
help of experienced medical and educational specialists with an
understanding of the disorder. |
