摘要：
Trisomy 18 is known for its severe prognosis, with most affected infants not surviving beyond a week, but this report sheds light on a remarkable case of a two-and-a-half-year-old girl born with Trisomy 18 who has thrived due to specialized medical care. Despite a complex medical profile, including congenital heart defects and hepatoblastoma, this patient underwent successful treatments, including multiple surgeries and chemotherapy. This case report showcases how modern medical advancements and multidisciplinary care can defy the historically grim prognosis associated with Trisomy 18, providing hope for improved outcomes and a better quality of life (QOL) for affected individuals and their families.
