7. Neurodevelopmental Delays
Patients with Edwards syndrome will also likely suffer from neurodevelopmental delays. This means that the brain will not develop as it should, thus resulting in a range of unwelcome symptoms. For example, people with neurodevelopmental delays will tend to suffer from learning disabilities.
The patient is also likely to find it difficult to maintain self-control, and they can also struggle to control their emotions. They are also likely to suffer from a poor memory. Neurodevelopmental delays can also mean motor disorders, and the patient can find it difficult to control their own bodies. They will also find it difficult to communicate with other people.
