Achromatopsia, also known as total color blindness, is a rare visual disorder that affects approximately 1 in 33, 000 individuals worldwide. It is characterized by the complete absence or severe reduction of color perception, along with reduced visual acuity and extreme sensitivity to light.

Anencephaly is a rare and devastating congenital neural tube defect that affects the development of the brain and skull. Infants born with anencephaly have incomplete brain development and are missing most of their skull. This condition occurs in approximately 1 out of every 10, 000 pregnancies, with higher rates occurring in certain populations.

Acromegaly is a rare but serious medical condition caused by the excessive secretion of growth hormone (GH) by the pituitary gland. GH is a hormone that plays a critical role in normal growth and development during childhood, but in adults, it helps maintain normal metabolism and body composition. Excessive secretion of GH in adulthood can lead to a wide range of physical and physiological changes, collectively known as acromegaly.

Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a congenital heart defect that affects the septum, the wall separating the upper chambers (atria) of the heart. This defect allows blood to flow from the left atrium to the right atrium, causing a range of symptoms and complications. In this chapter, we will explore the different types of ASD, their causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.

Atrial fibrillation is a common cardiac arrhythmia characterized by irregular and rapid heartbeats. It is estimated to affect approximately 33.5 million people worldwide, and its prevalence is increasing due to an aging population and a rise in risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. In this book, we will discuss the causes and symptoms of atrial fibrillation, .

Ataxia is a neurological disorder that affects the ability of the body to coordinate movement. It is characterized by a lack of muscle control and balance, which leads to problems with walking, coordination, and speech. Ataxia can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, injury, infection, or degeneration of nerve cells. The symptoms of ataxia can range from mild to severe, and they may progress over time
