Nuchal translucency and lymphatic system maldevelopment.
We describe the histological examination of 18 aborted fetuses that had increased nuchal translucency (NT) between 11(+0) and 13(+6) weeks' gestation. The aim of this study was to assess the corresponding NT anatomic features by immunohistochemical (IHC) investigation. A morphological study was performed using lymphatic and blood endothelial specific markers, as well as smooth muscle actin (SMA...
متن کاملNuchal translucency and gestational age.
Professor Wald and his team (Wald et al., 2004) have remodelled the already modelled SURUSS data (Wald et al., 2003a) to claim, firstly, that their results are now similar to those of the multicentre study co-ordinated by the Fetal Medicine Foundation (Snijders et al., 1998), and, secondly, that the gestation of choice for nuchal translucency (NT) measurement is 10 weeks. The latest modelling e...
متن کاملNuchal translucency in multiple pregnancies.
AIM To evaluate the prevalence of increased nuchal translucency (NT) in multiple pregnancies and its relation to fetal karyotype and pregnancy outcome. METHODS We measured fetal nuchal translucency (NT) in 6,338 women pregnant from 10+3 to 13+6 weeks by ultrasound and evaluated the prevalence of NT=95th centile in 115 multiple pregnancies, including 100 pairs of twins (70 dichorionic and 30 m...
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 ...
متن کاملInvolvement of neurons and retinoic acid in lymphatic development: new insights in increased nuchal translucency.
OBJECTIVE Increased nuchal translucency originates from disturbed lymphatic development. Abnormal neural crest cell (NCC) migration may be involved in lymphatic development. Because both neuronal and lymphatic development share retinoic acid (RA) as a common factor, this study investigated the involvement of NCCs and RA in specific steps in lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) differentiation and n...
