[edit] Congenital or what? Needs QUICK fix from careful non-expert

I know this article has an "expert attention needed" tag and sadly I am not the person to give it. Even so, I do see a particular problem in that the article appears to quite firmly initially define the condition as congenital, with little room for any other interpretation. Many lines later it sort of creeps back with its tail between its legs and says "oh, by the way, they can also be acquired in adults" but it's a bit late by then and just sounds contradictory. Can some nice Wikipedian see a way to just get it into the initial definition that both are possible? I don't really edit the wiki any more and would be most grateful if someone - who does not need to be a medical expert, just someone who can see structures - can look at this. Thanks - ex-Wikipedian 82.45.248.177 18:35, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
