ABSTRACT

In the diagnostic of children with malformations it is necessary to think if those were do produced during the embryomorphogenesis or in other stages of the intrauterin development. The dysmorphology is the field for the study of the congenital developmental defects, it has aim to organize and standardize the clinical descriptions of malformations. This report give a short summary of this approach.
