Hi,Thanks for the question.Your baby has what is called an association --certain problems (defects ) grouped together ,but which do not have a specific chromosomal change -----best will be for you to have genetic tests done on your baby to see if it is associated with Trisomy 18 or increased number of chromosome 18 ---or other defects .Both parents can also be tested .
Usually this combination of defects is sporadic or happens in that pregnancy alone .Most of the defects can be recognised by a fetal Ultrasound at a good Perinatal centre.
