| | Structural Congenital Heart Disease |
 | | Congenital heart disease is a major cause of neonatal distress and is the most common cause of death in the newborn other than problems related to prematurity. | | | Congenital heart disease is treated with drugs and/or surgery. | | | The likelihood of having a child with a congenital heart disease increases if the mother or father, another child, or another relative had congenital heart disease. |

| | Congenital auricular deformities are a manifestation of developmental problems of the first and second branchial arches, and often other arch deformities are present, such as hypoplasia of the mandible, maxilla, and soft tissue on the side of the face of the atresia. | | | The most common deformity of congenitally microtic auricle is a longitudinal fold of skin (peanut ear) that contains a markedly disfigured auricular cartilaginous remnant that is usually anatomically located in the position of what one might anticipate as the external auditory canal. | | | Goals of auricular reconstruction The rehabilitation of the congenital or acquired auricular deformity requires a multistaged surgical reconstruction or the use of a prosthesis. |

| | Congenital Heart Disease |
| | We can classify congenital heart defects into several categories in order to better understand the problems the baby will experience. | | | Some heart problems are likely to occur if the mother had a disease while pregnant and was taking medications, such as anti-seizure medicines. | | | Often, congenital heart defects are a result of one of these crucial steps not happening at the right time, leaving a hole where a dividing wall should have formed, or a single blood vessel where two ought to be, for example. |

| | Common Shoulder Problems |
| | Muscular rehabilitation is the most important part of treating shoulder problems. | | | Shoulder instability can arise either because of acute trauma such as a dislocation, from repeated 'microtrauma' as with a professional thrower who puts excessive strain on the stabilisers repeatedly over a prolonged period, or because of congenital ligamentous laxity. | | | Many of the muscles that work the shoulder take origin from the spine and if there is an injury to the spine (even a minor ligament strain) this can affect the function of the muscles that are attached nearby. |
