Description
Trisomy 13 is one of the most common chromosomal disorders, resulting in multiple congenital anomalies such as heart defects, cystic hygroma, facial deformities, and genital anomalies. Population-based studies [1] have shown that the median survival time for patients with trisomy 13 ranges from 3 to 14 days and that less than 10% of patients survive for 1 year. Jones et al. [2] reported that the 1-year survival rate for trisomy 13 is 5.6–8.6%. Congenital heart anomalies occur in 80–100% of patients with trisomy 13 and include atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosus. However, only one case of left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) has been reported [3].
