The phenotype of Patau syndrome causes impact on families by the vulnerability and involvement in the child’s life by changing the lifestyle, emotional balance and interpersonal relationships. This study aimed to investigate the literature, empirical studies of the syndrome, related to the development, and describe the clinical of a child with that diagnosis, female, with 04 years and 11 months, relating to maternal level of overload. The evaluation of the development was instrumented by the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale and overload by Bourden Interview Scale. The results showed damage in all areas of development, with relevance for communication and autonomy. The absence of high overload was suggestive of that family support may have mitigated the impact of care and reflected positively on the caregiver quality of life.
