Other congenital malformations of diaphragm - what does this mean
Other congenital malformations of the diaphragm occur when the normal structure of the diaphragm is disrupted during fetal development due to environmental or genetic factors. this can lead to abnormal openings in the diaphragm, which can cause problems with breathing and other medical issues.
What happens during the disease - other congenital malformations of diaphragm
Other congenital malformations of the diaphragm are caused by developmental defects in the formation of the diaphragm during embryonic development. these defects can be caused by genetic factors, environmental factors, or a combination of both. abnormalities in the development of the diaphragm can lead to anatomical defects, such as a hole in the diaphragm, or a malformation of the muscular structure. as a result, the diaphragm may not be able to effectively separate the chest and abdominal cavities, leading to an increased risk of respiratory complications.
