CONFORMATION, in Medicine, that make and construction of the human body which is peculiar to every individual. Hence a mala conformatio signifies some fault in the first rudiments; whereby a person comes into the world crooked, or with some of the viscera or cavities unduly framed or proportioned. Many are subject to incurable asthma, from a too small capacity of the thorax, and the like vicious conformations.
