Other specified congenital malformations of nervous system - what does this mean
Other specified congenital malformations of the nervous system occur when the development of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) is disrupted during pregnancy, resulting in structural abnormalities in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. these malformations can be caused by genetic or environmental factors, such as infections, drugs, or toxins.
What happens during the disease - other specified congenital malformations of nervous system
Other specified congenital malformations of the nervous system is a condition caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors that affect the development of the nervous system in a fetus before birth. these factors can lead to the abnormal development of the brain, spinal cord, and/or peripheral nerves, resulting in a variety of neurological symptoms and physical impairments.
