ABSTRACT
Case: Diagnose: Edwards Syndrome
Mrs H, 31 yo : G5P3A1 gravid 29-30 weeks yet inpartu + suspected dandy walker. From
the results of screening ultrasound obstetric showed abnormal form of ventricolomegaly
communicans, macroglia, polihidramion. Induction of labor performed and did not succeed.
Followed by cesarean section and then the outcome baby girls, Weight 1200 gram, Body Length
37 cm, Apgar score 0/0.
Discussion: ES diagnosis is usually confirmed by karyotype tests which show either a
complete or partial trisomy of chromosome 18. More recently, other techniques such as
fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) has been
used to detect patients with trisomy 18 , especially in certain situations such as the rapid
diagnosis of newborns or prenatal diagnosis. Abnormality mostly related to the cardiovascular
system, followed by limb, urinary system, head and neck, gastrointestinal tract, and genital.
Cardiovascular abnormalities are most often ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect and
patent ductus arteriosus.
Conclusion: Because of a genetic disorder, there is no treatment available. However, if the
condition is mild or moderate the child can survive major heart surgery and kidney surgery.
Edwards syndrome conditions and the intensity of this may be different for every individual
