title: [Disclosing birth defects to parents].
abstract: A descriptive transversal study was carried out by the child psychiatry and neonatology team of Hedi-Chaker General Hospital in Sfax, Tunisia. Its aim was to study the methods and circumstances of the announcement of a disability confirmed during the infant's first days of life. The results of the study show that when the announcement is made by an experienced, trained team, and in favourable conditions, it leads to better acceptance of the disability by the parents.
