Edwards syndrome is the second most common autosomal trisomy syndrome, resulting from an extra chromosome in chromosome 18. Recently we encountered two cases with the following representative features: intrauterine growth retardation, polyhydramnios, low-set ears, micrognathia and clenched hands. Both cases were female newborns and had an abnormal karyotype 47, XX, 18.
