🍓🍓 Edwards syndrome by Dr.Coskun UMIT
🍓🍓Edwards syndrome, also called Trisomy 18 syndrome, is an autosomal chromosomal disorder due to an extra copy of chromosome 18. Edwards syndrome is one of the autosomal trisomy syndrome, second in frequency only to Trisomy 21.
Fetal sonographic findings which have been relevant to Trisomy 18 include congenital heart disease, mainly ventricular septal defect, choroid plexus cysts, gastrointestinal disease such as diaphragmatic hernia and imperforated anus, microcephaly, microphthalmia, omphalocele, kidney abnormalities, early-onset of fetal growth restriction and pyelectasis. Reported skeletal dysmorphologic signs include limb abnormalities, polydactyl, absent fibula, radial aplasia, clenched hands, and rocker bottom feet which mostly are seen in partial types.
Here is a 22 weeks Trisomy 18 fetus with some of the classical features of Edwards Syndrome. Baby has early onset Fetal Growth Restriction also (not shown here).
Thanks for the case Haissam Aref
