A Rare Presentation of Edwards Syndrome in a Three-Month-Old Infant: A Case Report
2024
Overview
Edwards syndrome, also known as trisomy 18, is a rare chromosomal disorder associated with multiple congenital anomalies and high morbidity. This report presents the case of a three-month-old female infant diagnosed with Edwards syndrome, presenting classic phenotypic features, including low-set ears, micrognathia, and a rocker bottom foot. The infant's condition was further complicated by cardiac abnormalities and respiratory distress, necessitating a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach involving pediatricians, cardiologists, and orthopedic specialists. The diagnostic journey involved addressing challenges related to respiratory distress syndrome, bronchiolitis, and cardiac complications. The management approach underscored the significance of individualized care tailored to the patient's unique needs. Genetic counseling played a pivotal role in providing essential support to the family facing the complexities associated with Edwards syndrome. This case report highlights the intricacies of Edwards syndrome and contributes to the ongoing discourse on refining clinical strategies for enhanced care and compassionate support. Additionally, it emphasizes the need for further research to advance our understanding of this condition and guide future interventions.
