Nuchal translucency is usually done between the 11th and 14th week of pregnancy

Increased thickness of the nuchal fold is a soft marker associated with multiple fetal anomalies

An increased NT has also been associated with a high risk of miscarriage or fetal death. This risk increases with increasing NT thickness, and miscarriage or fetal death may be preceded by cardiac failure symptoms such as fetal hydrops

An increased NT can be associated with a chromosome change such as Down's,

cystic hygroma - or lymphangioma - is a birth defect that appears as a sac-like structure with a thin wall that most commonly occurs in the head and neck area of an infant. As the baby grows in the womb, it can develop from pieces of material that carries fluid and white blood cells.

The exact cause of a cystic hygroma is unknown. The cyst forms as a result of damage to the lymphatic system during fetal development,

Fetal death: 90%. In 10% of cases the fetal karyotype is normal, there are no other obvious defects and the hygromas resolve during pregnancy

No medicine can cure cystic hygroma
