The role of nuchal translucency in the screening for congenital heart defects.
OBJECTIVE Assess the accuracy of the nuchal translucency (NT) measurement between 11 and 13 weeks and 6 days of gestation as a sonographic marker to screen for congenital heart defects (CHD). METHODS This is a multi-center retrospective study in which singleton gestations of euploid fetuses were analyzed. NT measurement was performed in the first trimester examination when the fetal crown-rum...
متن کاملThe Role of Nuchal Translucency in the Screening of Congenital Heart Defects
Three thousand six hundred and sixty four gestations were analyzed, of which twenty newborn infants had some congenital heart defect up to the first month of life (prevalence of 0.55%). The median NT in fetuses with CHD was 1.70 mm, and 1.60 mm in fetuses without CHD. However no statistically significant difference was observed between the two medians (Mann-Whitney test, p > 0.05). The NT sensi...
متن کاملNuchal translucency and cystic hygroma colli in screening for fetal major congenital heart defects in a series of 12,910 euploid pregnancies.
OBJECTIVE Many studies have shown that an increased nuchal translucency (NT) may be a good marker of fetal heart malformation, but the extent to which NT is suitable for identifying the population at risk remains unclear. We aimed to determine the value of NT measurement and of the presence of cystic hygroma colli in the screening of euploid fetuses for congenital heart defects (CHD). METHODS...
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 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...
