Asphyxiating thoracic dysplasia.
Review of 10 cases of asphyxiating thoracic dysplasia has shown a wide range of clinical effects and some variability in the radiographic features. Respiratory difficulty was severe in 7 babies and lethal in 6 of these. The seventh child is remarkable for his normal stature and excellent health at 15 years of age. 3 babies had no respiratory difficulty but 2 of them subsequently died of renal f...
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 کامل[Increased nuchal translucency with normal karyotype].
Nuchal translucency (NT) measurement in first trimester screening between 11 and 14 weeks' gestation has now been clearly identified as a marker for aneuploidies and in particular for trisomy 21. Even in the absence of aneuploidy increased fetal nuchal translucency has been shown to be a marker for fetal heart malformations and numerous other fetal defects and genetic syndromes when the measure...
متن کاملWhy increased nuchal translucency is associated with congenital heart disease: a systematic review on genetic mechanisms.
This overview provides insight into the underlying genetic mechanism of the high incidence of cardiac defects in fetuses with increased nuchal translucency (NT). Nuchal edema, the morphological equivalent of increased NT, is likely to result from abnormal lymphatic development and is strongly related to cardiac defects. The underlying genetic pathways are, however, unknown. This study aims to p...
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 ...
