Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello,

Such multiple congenital anomalies are seen in chromosomal and multifactorial genetic disorders. You need to do chromosomal and genetic analysis to identify exact chromosomal or genetic defect. Consult your pediatrician and ask for these studies. Results of these studies may not help in treatment. Treatment will be as per the problems your baby is facing e.g., seizures, pulmonary hypertension, hypocalcemia, etc.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Khan Shoeb Mohammad Sher Mohammad
