Anatomical anomalies are deviations from the typical structure or location of body parts that can have a wide range of clinical, functional, and developmental implications. These anomalies may be congenital or acquired, symptomatic or asymptomatic, and can involve virtually any system in the human body. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of anatomical anomalies by exploring their etiology, classification, methods of diagnosis, and implications for clinical practice. It draws from existing literature in anatomy, radiology, genetics, and clinical medicine to present a cohesive understanding of this important yet often underappreciated area of human biology.
