Abstract

Summary: The incidence of obvious congenital malformations per thousand births ascertained to among 22,899 consecutive newborns at the Oluyoro Catholic Hospital, Ibadan, sviled were 2.18 for polydactyly, 0.7 for talipes, 0.61 for anencephaly, 0.39 for hydrocephaly,  0.31 for spina bifida and 0.26 for meningocoele. These findings confirm a generally ETOVI 5 low incidence of obvious congenital abnormalities apart from polydactyly, in the grob Foga population studied. Continuous monitoring is considered necessary in the face of  developmental and economic changes taking place in our population, factors that will most likely alter the environment.
