Özet
Trisomy 18 is the second most common autosomal trisomy in liveborn infants. Various congenital malformations, mental retardation, and high rate of infant mortality in the first year of life are characteristic features of trisomy 18. Congenital heart disease occurs in over 90% of these patients and the most common cardiac lesions are ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus and atrial septal defect. This is a case report of a baby born with trisomy 18 (postnatal diagnosis) in whom there was an unusual echocardiographic appearance of a mobile structure ("flap-like") around the area of a VSD-which was imaged prenatally.
