==Introduction==
+
+
* Congenital malformations may involve the spinal cord, brain, meninges, calvaria or vertebral column.
+
* Abnormalities typically result from defects in neural tube development.
+
* Congenital malformations are present at or before birth, and manifest as either:
+
** Morphological problems
+
** Functional problems
+
*** Tend to arise as biochemical abnormalities, such as the lysosomal diseases or leukodystrophies.
+
* Causes of congenital abnormalities include:
+
** Environmental causes
+
*** For example, these may be toxic, infectious, nutritional, or physical (e.g. radiation)
+
*** This is by far the most common cause.
+
** Inherited traits.
