Summary
Is a social system that performs functions of affective, education, socialization, and reproductive nature in society[1]. Part of the family cycle is the birth of a child, an unique moment that, in many cases, represents social achievement[3]. Given this scenario, it is worth stressing that during the gestational period the family intensifies the expectations of how the child will be, and the birth of a child with malformation is a confrontational situation between the imagined and the real child, which may cause a big impact on the family system[4]. It has a complex and multifactorial etiology and can occur due to infectious processes during pregnancy[7]
