ABSTRACT
Patau syndrome (trisomy 13) is a chromosomal abnormality with multiple malformations due to an additional copy of chromosome 13. This genetic condition has a systemic impact on the development of the human body, which can result in, but is not limited to, microphthalmia, microcephaly, low-set ears, cleft palate, cardiac abnormalities, and abdominal wall defects. It is associated with severe physical and intellectual disabilities and a limited lifespan. Here, we present a 29-year-old female with a high suspicion of the mosaic form of Patau syndrome. She decided to opt for an elective robotic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (RAVH) due to worsening menorrhagia and recurrent miscarriages. In addition, the importance of medical interventions from surgery to anesthesia is discussed, with their role in improving the quality of life of the patient.
