When a patient has multiple abnormalities (multiple anomaly, multiple deformity), they have a congenital abnormality that cannot be primarily identified with a single system of the body or single disease process.{{cite book |doi=10.1016/B978-0-323-82823-9.00027-1 |chapter=The Dysmorphic Infant |title=Avery's Diseases of the Newborn |date=2024 |last1=Taylor Wild |first1=K. |last2=Sheppard |first2=Sarah E. |last3=Zackai |first3=Elaine H. |pages=335–346.e1 |isbn=978-0-323-82823-9 }} Most medical conditions can have systemic sequelae, but multiple abnormalities occur when the effects on multiple systems is immediately obvious.
