A baby presents with multiple deformities, cleft lip, cleft palate, microcephaly, small eyes, scalp defect and polydactyly. Following manifestations are associated with which of the following chromosomal anomaly?
The baby in the question stem is showing features of trisomy 13. Babies with trisomy 13 often have normal bih weight, CNS malformations, eye malformations, cleft lip and palate, polydactyly or syndactyly, and congenital hea disease. Infants with trisomy 18 are small for gestational age, have characteristic facies, overlapping fingers and rocker bottom feet and ventricular septal defect or patent ductus aeriosus.
