deformed child; child with a congenital anomaly
Medical or formal term for a child born with a physical malformation. Can be considered blunt or insensitive in everyday conversation; in modern contexts, more neutral expressions like 先天性異常児 or descriptive phrases are often preferred.
The birth rate of children with congenital anomalies can vary due to environmental factors.
In old medical books, the spelling 畸形児 is often seen.
