Patau's and Edward's Syndrome - CRASH! Medical Review Series

[@AJohnson0325]

Aren’t overlapping fingers with the clenched fist also characteristic in Edwards? Just some additional info from my pediatric anesthesia book...The high mortality rate is due to cardiac and renal problems. Most children with edwards will have cardiac disease that consists primarily of VSDs and polyvalvular disease. Micrognathis and microstomia can affect airway management (if your job is putting folks to sleep). Thanks for the video!

This is why 20 week testing is important so termination can seriously be discussed. No quality of life. I think parents who carry to term knowing the diagnosis …. Are very selfish

Thanks! Is it ok if I use your pictures for my summary?

A CT ?? So you don't use ultrasound? Thank God i'm in Australia.

Ph Ph CT to get a view of the deep brain tissue to diagnose holoprosencephaly. This effect cannot be seen via ultrasound.
