The overall incidence of minor malformations was 5.03% (55.55% male and 44.46% female p>0.05). 0.28% of neonates had two minor anomalies. The musculoskeletal system (2.25%) was the most common involved system followed by genitourinary system (1.39%), skin (0.99%), ear (0.42%) and nose (0.14%). Mongolian spot (6.01%) and hydrocele (7.69%) were detected as normal variations. The positional clubfoot (1.82%) was the most common minor congenital anomaly followed by undescended tests (1.85% in males) and granular hypospadias (0.92% in males) and sacral dimpling (0.56%).
