| | Developmental Disorders |
| | Congenital syringomyelia (cavitation of the spinal cord parenchyma) and hydromyelia (dilatation of the central canal within the spinal cord) are relatively uncommon malformations of the spinal cord that result from incomplete closure or development of the neural tube [ 259 ]. | | | Chiari malformations are complex developmental disorders involving the caudal brainstem, cerebellum and cranial cervical spinal cord. | | | The condition in CKCS appears to be associated with occipital bone hypoplasia which results in caudal fossa overcrowding, obstruction of CSF pathways and secondary hydrosyringomyelia [ 299 ]. |

| | After recovering from the emotional shock of learning that their baby has congenital hypothyroidism, the first question invariably asked by the parents is, "Will our baby be normal?" Many parents confuse congenital hypothyroidism with cretinism and harbor the vision of their child becoming dwarfed and mentally retarded. | | | There are few instances in the practice of medicine where the health and welfare of future generations can be positively affected; early treatment of congenital hypothyroidism through newborn screening is one of those instances. | | | The latter condition is usually familial in nature. |

| | Congenital Disorders and Diseases of Dogs |
| | There are several possible surgical procedures for this disorder and it is often necessary to combine surgical techniques to get a good outcome. | | | It is best when possible to have this surgery done by a surgical specialist or a veterinarian who does the surgery routinely because this surgery often calls for judgements over surgical procedures that are best made by someone with experience with the procedures. | | | If this is noted in a very young dog it may be better to consider surgery since the disorder is self perpetuating (having it induces changes that make it worse). |

| | When Your Child Has Cerebral Palsy |
| | Cerebral palsy is a disorder that affects motor skills (the ability to move in a coordinated and purposeful way), muscle tone, and muscle movement. | | | Under usual circumstances, people learn to move their muscles in a coordinated and smooth way, although simple motions, even standing still, require a complicated interaction of muscles and nerves. | | | Premature babies who weigh less than 3.3 pounds (1510 grams) are up to 30 times more likely to develop cerebral palsy than full-term babies. |
