Methodology A descriptive study was conducted (the prevalence was determined by year), all medical records of mothers with newborns between the period of 2010 to 2014 were reviewed. To collect the information was used a pre-prepared form, the data were grouped by CIE-10 classification and these data was tabulated in Microsoft Excel. SPSS statistical software (version 15) was used for Data Analysis. The study´s variables were described according to appropriate statistical measures. Results The prevalence of congenital malformations was 1.70 per 100 newborns. Women aged between 20 and 24, had the highest percentage of malformed babies with 34.95 %. Malformed newborns were predominantly male with 53.83 %. The group with most frequent malformations were the congenital malformations and deformities of the musculoskeletal system with 18.88 %, of which gastroschisis was the most frequent, represented by 4.85%. The polymalformation syndrome was the type of congenital malformation with the highest percentage with 10.71%.

They included only malformations which are obvious morphological alterations, finding a higher frequency of polymalformation syndrome
