Abstract

Studies have revealed an association of neural disfigurement with trisomy 18. Hereby, we report a rare coalition of Trisomy 18 and Arnold Chiari malformation along with myelomeningocele in a premature neonate. Despite managing hydrocephalus, the patient' condition deteriorated over time due to underlying cardiothoracic defects.
