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.
Nuchal cords are more frequent when the placenta is posterior.
Increased nuchal translucency appears to be a nonspecific marker for a wide range of fetal structural abnormalities (27;64).
Increased nuchal translucency thickness at 10-14 weeks of gestation is associated with chromosomal abnormalities and cardiac defects.
