OC81: Association between fetal gender and nuchal translucency thickness

Measurement of fetal nuchal translucency thickness by three-dimensional ultrasound.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility and repeatability of nuchal translucency thickness measurement using three-dimensional ultrasound. METHODS Forty consecutive women with uncomplicated singleton pregnancies attending for Down syndrome screening at 11-14 weeks' gestation were included in this prospective crossover trial. Nuchal translucency thickness was measured using both two-dimension...

Is there an association between increased nuchal translucency and autism?

Methods The study included all singleton infants born in Denmark, who had routine first trimester screening between January 1st 2008 and March 31st 2012. Children were divided into three groups by NT thickness: NT > 99th percentile (group 1), NT 95th-99th percentile (group 2), and NT < 95th percentile (group 3). Follow-up was undertaken for all children at 2 to 6 years of age, depending on date...

Does fetal gender affect nuchal skin-fold thickness?

[Increased fetal nuchal translucency thickness and normal karyotype: prenatal and postnatal follow-up].

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate pregnancy and postnatal outcomes of fetuses with increased nuchal translucency thickness (NT) and normal karyotype. METHODS Two hundred seventy five fetuses with increased NT were examined with karyotyping analysis, serial ultrasound scans, echocardiography and postnatal clinical and genetic evaluation at the Fetal Medicine Unit - Department of ...
