Diagnosis of congenital abnormalities can be made through prenatal screening and diagnostic tests, as well as postnatal evaluations.
Prenatal screening: Tests such as ultrasound, maternal serum screening, and non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) can help detect certain congenital abnormalities. Diagnostic tests: Procedures like amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS) provide more definitive information about genetic conditions. Postnatal evaluations: Physical examinations, imaging studies, and genetic testing can be used to diagnose congenital abnormalities after birth.
