Ethical dimensions of nuchal translucency screening
Clinics in Perinatology, 2003First-trimester screening for NT, when conducted according to accepted standards of quality, is a reliable diagnostic screen. There is no compelling beneficence-based argument opposed to offering it, and offering it is an important autonomy-enhancing strategy. Screening should be offered only in centers where high quality is available. In our view, the

Intracranial translucency assessment at first trimester nuchal translucency ultrasound
Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, 2016AbstractIntroductionThe antenatal diagnosis of open spina bifida (OSB), a neural tube defect, is predominantly made at the second trimester morphology scan by ultrasound detection of structural abnormalities resulting from the associated Chiari II malformation. Evidence has emerged suggesting that these structural abnormalities can be detected earlier,

Increased nuchal translucency and CATCH 22
Prenatal Diagnosis, 1998Recent developments in cytogenetics has shown that 22q11 microdeletion is related to a broad spectrum of malformations which are described under the acronym CATCH 22 (Cardiac, Abnormal faces, Thymic hypoplasia, Cleft palate, Hypocalcaemia and 22 chromosome deletion).

Weekly Nuchal Translucency Measurements in Normal Fetuses
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1998To examine the longitudinal course of nuchal translucency thickness by weekly measurements between 10 and 15 weeks' gestation in normal fetuses.Nuchal translucency was measured weekly from 10 to 15 weeks' gestation in 64 fetuses with normal pregnancy outcome. The median and the fifth, 25th, 75th, and 95th percentiles were calculated.Nuchal translucency

Variability of Nuchal Translucency Measurement
Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation, 2005<i>Objectives:</i> To evaluate intra- and inter-observer variations of nuchal translucency (NT) measurements and study the duration of measurements. <i>Subjects:</i> One hundred and forty-seven singleton pregnant women with 10–14 weeks of gestation who had attended antenatal clinic during January 1st, 2000–August 31st, 2001 were

Monitoring Quality Control of Nuchal Translucency
Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2010Nuchal translucency is the single most discriminatory marker for screening Down syndrome. When this marker is combined with concurrent maternal serum markers, the model-predicted performance is greater than for all second-trimester serum-only combinations.

Fetal nuchal translucency thickness.
Genetic counseling (Geneva, Switzerland), 2007In the early 1990s Nicolaides introduced screening for trisomy 21 by fetal nuchal translucency thickness measurement with ultrasound between 11-13(+6) weeks. Already in 1866 L. Down noted that common features of patients with trisomy 21 are a skin being too large for the body and a flat face with a small nose.

Technical Aspects of Nuchal Translucency Measurement
Seminars in Perinatology, 2005Nuchal translucency (NT) describes an echo-free area, below the skin, in the posterior nuchal and back region of the fetus and is typically observed in the first and early second trimester of pregnancy. A wide NT has been correlated with chromosomal and congenital abnormalities in the fetus.
