“…While the prenatal diagnosis of cystic hygroma has been well established through the use of real-time and transvaginal ultrasound (Gustavii and Edvall, 1984;Exalto et al, 1985;Reuss et al, 1987;Bronshtein et al, 1989;Cullen et al, 1991), criteria for predicting the prognosis in individual cases have been problematic. While the isolated lesion has been reported to regress spontaneously in utero (Chodirker et al, 1988;Bronshtein et al, 1989;Darby, 1989;Macken et al, 1989;Mostello et al, 1989:~ regression has also been observed in the presence of non-immune hydrops (Cullen et al,199l), traditionally considered a poor prognostic indicator (Chodirker et a[., 1988;Mostello et al, 1989).…”

This paper reports our experience with 55 fetuses identified in utero to have a cystic hygroma. The outcome of fetuses with an isolated cystic hygroma, cystic hygroma with non-immune hydrops, and cystic hygroma with multiple anomalies was evaluated. Approximately two-thirds of karyotypes were aneuploid, and a strong association of septation and aneuploidy existed. Only five cases, four of which had isolated hygromas, came to term and resulted in live births. Two of these involved small non-septated lesions which resolved in utero.

“…We believe that structural anomalies can be diagnosed in the first trimester, [6][7][8][9][10][11][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] and that such anomalies can be associated with chromosomal anomalies, as in the second trimester. Crown-rump length does not appear to be sensitive enough to use as a screening examination.…”

A study was undertaken to evaluate the ability of the high-frequency transvaginal scanning method to consistently image first- and early second-trimester fetal structures, such as body contours, long bones, fingers, face, palate, feet, toes, and the four-chamber view. Ninety-seven low-risk pregnancies were scanned from 9 weeks to 14 menstrual weeks inclusive. Accurate dating was ascertained. The results showed that consistent detection of the respective structures was achieved at the following menstrual ages: sagittal contours at 9 weeks to 10 weeks, long bones at 10 weeks to 11 weeks, fingers at 12 weeks, face and palate at 12 weeks, feet and toes at 13 weeks, and the four-chamber view at 14 weeks. The organs and structures examined could be detected at 9 weeks to 14 weeks inclusive. An increasing number of structure were detected consistently with the increasing menstrual age. The study supports the possibility of searching for specific malformations at or after the menstrual ages mentioned, or performing a more comprehensive malformation evaluation after 13 weeks.
