INTRODUCTION: Trisomy of chromosome 13, also known as Patau Syndrome, is a genetic disorder resulting from a supernumerary chromosome 13. It was discovered in 1960 by Patau and is currently reported less frequent trisomy in humans. It is usually associated with a maternal rather than paternal meiotic disorder and, like Down syndrome, its incidence increases with maternal age. Affected infants die shortly after birth, mostly before 3 months old. It is believed that 80-90% of affected fetuses do not reach term gestational age. CASE REPORT: The case of a male newborn with diagnosis of trisomy 13 is presented, with charasteristic features such as pink Tetrallogy of Fallot and laryngotracheomalacia. At birth, the patient manifests multiple complications related to his condition, altering the evolution and prognosis. Survival of the patient exceeded expectations, which is strictly related to the severity of cerebral, cardiac and renal malformations, which in turn is directly related to the degree of chromosomal alterations of the infant, with mosaicism being the less clinically affected. DISCUSSION: Recently the visibility of trisomy 13 cases have increased by more practiced in the diagnoses of the same and in addition to its survival by new interventions that have been discovered in medicine.
