| Abstract |
|
Edward syndrome is known as 18-trisomy with multiple congenital anomalies.
Recently, we experienced a case of 18-trisomy syndrome in a new-born female baby who was born
at Chung Gu Sung Sim Hospital. Grossly this baby had multiple anomalies which were characterized
by prominent occiput, hypertelorism, small palpebral fissure, small oral opening, high arched palate,
micrognathia, low-set malformed ear, rocker bottom feet, narrow pelvis, limited hip abduction, dark
colored prominent labia minora and single umbilical artery.
Karyotyping and Chromosomal analysis revealed 47, XX, + 18. On autopsy, horseshoe kidney was
found. A brief review of literature was presented. |
