Thus more than one organ could be compromised leading to the coexistence of two or more anomalies in a fetus. Such anomalies in a singleton birth may be attributable to early demise of the co-conceptus as a vanishing twin.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Aim:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>To determine whether the coexistence of congenital anomalies and CP is greater than a chance finding by comparing the prevalence of congenital anomalies in children with CP with that in the general population of children.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A population-based register of children with CP born in 1966\u20131991 in the counties of Merseyside and Cheshire, UK, comprised the index population.
