Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards syndrome, is a relatively common chromosomal abnormality.
Characteristics
- Micrognathia - small chin.
- Prominent occiput.
- Overriding fingers - classic finding.
- Omphalocele ~ 6% in a series of 85 cases.[3]
- Rocker bottom feet.
- Horseshoe kidney - up to 20% of cases.[4]
Notes:
- Omphalocele is usually genetic.[5]
- Other considerations should include Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome.
