Background: There is a need for a multidisciplinary database that can be used as a potential source for developing a protocol and a guideline for a possible nationwide prospective surveillance of congenital anomalies in Nigeria. Methods: This five-year cross-sectional retrospective survey of data from January 2009 to December 2013 was done at the University College Hospital, Ibadan. Data were collected from the admission records on the wards in 8 specialty units with the most workable documented clinical records of congenital anomalies in their care using a predesigned proforma. Proportions of congenital anomalies were determined based on systemic classification of the anomalies and the descriptive terms used were according to the ICD_10-chapter XVIII_RCPCH extension. Result: The total number of patients with congenital anomalies whose records were obtained from the ward registers was 1311, there were 75 (5.7%) missing case notes while information was obtained on 1236 (94.3%) patients. There were a total of 1479 anomalies with multiple anomalies seen in 16.1% of the patients. The male/female ratio was 2:1 and multiple births as well as positive family history of birth defects were seen in about 2.4% and 2.2% of cases respectively. Prenatal diagnosis of the anomalies was documented in only 11 cases (0.9%). Only about one in five cases presented within the neonatal period, and defects of the abdominal wall as well as the cranial-facial-orbital regions were the most prevalent. Next were those in the cardiovascular, spinal column, anorectal and genital, as well as musculoskeletal systems. Conclusion: The size and pan-systemic profiles of the birth defects documented in this study calls for further action on this all-important cause of childhood mortality and significant life-long morbidity in our country.
Ophthalmic congenital anomalies: spectrum and systemic associations in a Nigerian tertiary hospital

Background: To document the pattern of ophthalmic congenital anomalies and their associated systemic anomalies in Nigeria’s foremost university teaching hospital. Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study conducted at the University College Hospital, Ibadan from January 2009 to December 2013. Clinic and ward registers of various departments and units in the hospital were reviewed to identify children with any structural abnormality, present at birth, which involved the eye and/or its adnexae. Results: Two hundred and forty eight children with 259 ophthalmic congenital anomalies were studied. The median age was 1.2 years with an interquartile range of 4.6 years. The male to female ratio was 1.27:1. Congenital cataract was found in 109 (44%) patients; 40 (15.4%) children had congenital glaucoma, and whole globe anomalies were observed in 18 (6.9%) children. Eighteen (7.9%) children had a family history of congenital anomalies. Associated systemic congenital anomalies were seen in 32 (12.9%) patients with the most common being cardiovascular anomalies in 13 (5.2%) patients. Children who had congenital cataracts were more likely to have multiple associated systemic anomalies (p<0.005). All the children who had associated cardiovascular anomalies had congenital cataracts (p= 0.001). Conclusion: The commonest ophthalmic congenital anomaly presenting for tertiary care in Ibadan is congenital cataract. Cardiovascular anomalies are the commonest systemic association of ophthalmic congenital anomalies. There is an urgent need for the establishment of a registry for congenital anomalies with effective screening and active surveillance within the Nigerian health system.
