Some birth defects are detectable before the baby is born. These include spina-bifida and cleft lip/palate. Certain birth defects are discovered only after the baby is born, for example congenital heart defects (which affects how a baby's body works) and gait and balance issues such as cerebral palsy. Many birth defects can be corrected whether through surgery or medications. Some may need assistive devices such as wheelchairs or hearing aids.
