| Abstract | Nuchal translucency (NT) measurements in the first trimester screening between 11 and 14 weeks' gestation are regarded as a clear marker for aneuploidies. The presence of a thickened NT, even if the karyotype is normal, can be associated with structural abnormalities. Having an abnormal screening of NT, parents and physicians could face dilemma over abortion particularly in a case of IVF/ICSI fetuses. Measurement of the NT thickness combined with biochemical markers has a false-positive rate of 5%. Hereby we present six cases of chromosomally normal fetuses with an increased NT thickness in the first trimester, a normal karyotype and normal follow-up scans, who had a good prognosis for a normal early childhood. This report may help increase the confidence of couples who are reluctant to terminate the pregnancy. |
