Complex Cardiac Defect in a Fetus with Trisomy 18 : a Case Report
نویسنده
چکیده
This is a case report of a foetus which was brought for postmortem evaluation following antenatal detection of a complex cardiac defect. Presence of dysmorphism and other malformations like gut malrotation, bladder outlet obstruction, and esophageal stenosis led to suspicion of a syndromic diagnosis. Fetal karyotyping confirmed a diagnosis of Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome). This facilitated appropriate genetic counseling of the family and guidance for prenatal diagnosis in subsequent pregnancies.

متن کاملThe First Case of a Small Supernumerary Marker Chromosome 18 in a Klinefelter Fetus: A Case Report
Small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMCs), or markers, are abnormal chromosomal fragments that can be hereditary or de novo. Despite the importance of sSMCs diagnosis, de novo sSMCs are rarely detected during the prenatal diagnosis process. Usually, prenatally diagnosed de novo sSMCs cannot be correlated with a particular phenotype without knowing their chromosomal origin and content; ther...

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is often associated with major anomalies and chromosomal abnormalities. Chromosomal abnormalities are usually detected in 9.5% to 34% of fetuses with CDH prenatally diagnosed and the defect has also been reported in association with multiple syndromes such as Pallister-Killian syndrome, Fryns syndrome, Di George syndrome and Apert syndrome. Among the chromo...
