Increased nuchal translucency in fetuses with a normal karyotype.
Sonographic assessment of nuchal translucency (NT) thickness has been recognized as an effective means of screening for trisomy 21 and other chromosomal abnormalities at 11–14 weeks of gestation. Up to 80% of aneuploid fetuses have increased NT, but this feature is also found in 5% of karyotypically normal fetuses at this stage of pregnancy (Snijders et al., 1998). As this screening test examin...
متن کاملIncidence of major structural cardiac defects in fetuses with increased nuchal translucency and normal karyotype
Background Nuchal translucency (NT) is the sonographic appearance of a collection of fluid under the skin behind the fetal neck in the first-trimester of pregnancy. In fetuses with chromosomal abnormalities, cardiac defects and many genetic syndromes NT thickness is increased. The aim of the study was to evaluate the incidence of major cardiac defects in relation to the fetal NT in chromosomall...
متن کاملOutcome of pregnancies with increased nuchal translucency
Methods A total of 1490 pregnant women were assessed for first trimester ultrasonography. They had routinely measured crown-rump length (CRL) and nuchal translucency (NT) for screening for Down syndrome between 11 and 14 weeks of gestation. Cases with a NT≥3 mm were counselled further regarding the risk of chromosomal abnormality and prenatal diagnosis by fetal karyotyping. A complete follow-up...
متن کاملDuctus venosus Doppler in fetuses with cardiac defects and increased nuchal translucency thickness.
OBJECTIVE To examine the possible role of Doppler ultrasound assessment of ductus venosus blood flow in screening for major cardiac defects in chromosomally normal fetuses with increased nuchal translucency (NT) thickness at 11 + 0 to 13 + 6 weeks' gestation. METHODS Ductus venosus blood flow velocity waveforms were obtained immediately before chorionic villus sampling for fetal karyotyping i...
متن کاملIncreased Nuchal Translucency and Pregnancy Outcome
BACKGROUND To study the outcome of cases with nuchal translucency (NT) ≥ 95th centile in the first trimester of pregnancy. METHODS This cross sectional study was performed at Iranian Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) between January 2009 and December 2011. Totally, 186 cases with NT≥ 95th centile who attended for the first trimester screening were studied. All cases with increased NT including ...
