Mwamwayi, ana ambiri omwe ali ndi Trisomy 18 amamwalira asanabadwe, kotero chiwerengero chenicheni cha matendawa chikhoza kukhala chapamwamba. Trisomy 18 imakhudza anthu amitundu yonse.

Zizindikiro

Trisomy 18 imakhudza kwambiri ziwalo zonse za thupi. Zizindikiro zingakhalepo:

• Mitsempha ya ubongo ndi ubongo - kuchepa kwa maganizo ndi kuchepetsa kukula, kukula kwa minofu, kukhumudwa , ndi kuwonongeka kwa thupi monga ubongo wa ubongo
• Mutu ndi nkhope - mutu waung'onoting'ono ( microcephaly ), maso ang'onoang'ono, maso ozungulira, tsaya laling'ono, lachangu
• Mtima - congenital mtima zolepheretsa monga ventricular septal defect
• Mitsempha - kuchepa kwakukulu, kutambasula manja ndi zala zisanu ndi ziwiri pamwamba pa zina, ndi zina zolakwika za manja ndi mapazi
• Malingaliro a kapangidwe kakang'ono ka m'mimba, tsamba la mkodzo, ndi zamimba

Kudziwa

Maonekedwe a mwanayo atabadwa amasonyeza kuti akudwala matenda a Trisomy 18. Komabe, ana ambiri amapezeka kuti asanabadwe ndi amniocentesis ( kuyesa kwa majini amniotic fluid).

Zilonda za mtima ndi mimba zimatha kuzindikira zosavuta, monga momwe zingathere ndi mafupa a mafupa.

Chithandizo

Kusamalidwa kwa anthu omwe ali ndi Trisomy 18 kumathandizira, ndipo kumayang'ana pa kupereka zakudya, kuchiza matenda, ndi kuthana ndi mavuto a mtima.

Pa miyezi yoyamba ya moyo, makanda omwe ali ndi Trisomy 18 amafunikira thandizo lachipatala lodziwa bwino.

Chifukwa cha mavuto aakulu a zachipatala, kuphatikizapo zofooka za mtima ndi matenda opatsirana, ana ambiri amavutika kukhala ndi moyo mpaka zaka 1. Kupititsa patsogolo kwa chithandizo chamankhwala m'tsogolo, m'tsogolomu, kumathandiza ana ambiri ndi Trisomy 18 kukhala muutsikana ndi kupitirira.
