Trisomy 18 and 13 are the most common autosomal trisomy disorders after Down syndrome. Given the high mortality rate (5-10% one year survival), trisomy 18 and 13 were historically characterized as uniformly lethal and palliation was the predominant management approach. Management strategy has shifted with recognition that through medical and surgical intervention, children with trisomy 18 and 13 can achieve developmental milestones, live meaningful lives, and exhibit long-term survival. Otolaryngologic surgery in children with trisomy 18 and 13 has not been described.
