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 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 کاملNuchal translucency measurement in fetuses with spinal muscular atrophy.
OBJECTIVE Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder with a high carrier frequency in the general population. The severity of this disorder indicates the importance of early prenatal detection. In medical literature, there are a few published case reports of enlarged nuchal translucency (NT) measurement in association with a diagnosis of SMA in the fetus....
متن کاملchromosomally and anatomically normal fetuses with increased first trimester nuchal translucency conceived by icsi
nuchal translucency (nt) measurements in the first trimester screening between 11 and 14 weeks’ gestation are regarded as a clear marker for aneuploidies. the presence of a thickened nt, even if the karyotype is normal, can be associated with structural abnormalities. having an abnormal screening of nt, parents and physicians could face dilemma over abortion particularly in a case of ivf/icsi f...
