DCH.

Many fetuses with Down syndrome are now prenatally diagnosed by karyotyping done because of advanced maternal age or abnormal triple screen test or fetal ultrasonographic findings.

If not prenatally diagnosed, most patients with Down syndrome are usually recognized at birth owing to characteristic physical findings.

Common neonatal features include :

  • Rounded head

  • Third fontanelle

  • Brachycephaly

  • Fine, soft and sparse hair

  • Upslanted palpebral fissures

  • Epicanthal folds

  • Brushfield spots

  • Spoke-like appearance of the retinal vasculature

  • Midfacial hypoplasia

  • Flattened nasal root

  • Small dysplastic pinnae

  • Large tongue in a small mouth

  • Short neck

  • Transverse palmar creases

  • Brachydactyly

  • Fifth-finger clinodactyly

  • Wide gap between the first and second toe

  • Diastasis recti

  • Hypotonia

  • Poor neck retraction response

  • Poor or absent Moro's reflex
