Exempel på nuchal

• First trimester screening for fetal aneuploidy: biochemistry and nuchal translucency.

• Increased nuchal translucency at 10 + 14 weeks of gestation as a marker for major cardiac defects.

• Screening for trisomy 21 in twin pregnancies by maternal age and fetal nuchal translucency thickness at 10-14 weeks of gestation.

• All three cases had abnormal karyotypes and the latter case had nuchal oedema.

• It is however, not always possible to determine the number of loops involved and whether the nuchal encirclement is complete or incomplete.

• Thus increased nuchal translucency is an indication for specialist fetal echocardiography.

• Increased nuchal translucency thickness at 10+14 weeks of gestation as a predictor of severe twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome.

• Increased nuchal translucency thickness at 10-14 weeks of gestation is associated with chromosomal abnormalities and cardiac defects.

• Increased nuchal translucency appears to be a nonspecific marker for a wide range of fetal structural abnormalities (27;64).

• Nuchal cords are more frequent when the placenta is posterior.

• Phyllolepids in which the nuchal plate has a rounded anterior margin, with lateral corners posteriorly placed, and posterolateral margins relatively short, concave and anterolaterally directed.

• Increased nuchal translucency in trisomy 13 fetuses at 10+14 weeks of gestation.

• Using fetal nuchal translucency to screen for major congenital cardiac defects at 10+14 weeks of gestation: population based cohort study.

• Using fetal nuchal translucency to screen for major congenital cardiac defects at 10 + 14 weeks of gestation: population based cohort study.

• Screening for fetal trisomies by maternal age and fetal nuchal translucency thickness at 10 to 14 weeks of gestation.
