(F.) Maladies connees, Morbi connati, are such as an individual is born with: - connate having the same signification as congenital. A difference has been made by some, however; those diseases or conditions which are dependent upon original conformation, being called congenital;- whilst the diseases or affections that may have supervened during gestation or delivery, are termed connate.
