Chromosomal disorders manifest with multiple congenital anomalies, which is associated with high morbidity as well as mortality. Trisomy 18 also known as Edward’s syndrome is a rare chromosomal disorder. We report a case of Edwards’ syndrome in a 15-day-old female neonate, with typical syndromic features. Infant’s clinical condition was superimposed by respiratory distress, necessitating a comprehensive, multidisciplinary management involving neonatologist, anesthesiologists, and orthopedic specialists. Considering the intricacies of Edwards’ syndrome and hence contributing to refining protocol for enhanced care and meticulous support. Furthermore, emphasizes the requirement for further research to advance understanding of the clinical condition and propagate future management.
