“…However, in monochorionic twins, increased NT may also be produced by hemodynamic imbalances between the fetuses through the vascular anastomoses, which may result in severe early onset of TTTS 3,4 . Previous studies in singleton pregnancies have reported that an increased NT in a fetus with normal karyotype was associated with a poor pregnancy outcome, the chances of which increased exponentially with increasing NT thickness, from 8% when NT ranged between the 95 th and 99 th percentiles to 80-85% when the NT was above 6.5 mm 1,14 . While establishing our reference ranges for NT, we found the 99 th percentile not to be a fixed value, as has been described by other groups 1,15 , but to increase, from 2.27 mm at 45 mm CRL to 3.78 mm at 84 mm 11 .…”

“…Cerca de 45% dos casos estudados apresentaram anormalidades cromossômicas, o que está de acordo com Senat et al 32 , embora haja divergência na literatura 6,[17][18][19][20]33 . Essa diferença pode ser explicada pelos diferentes pontos de corte utilizados na classificação de TN aumentada e no fato de que neste estudo as pacientes que optaram pela pesquisa do cariótipo fetal apresentavam a TN em um valor mais elevado (média 5,5).…”

“…A TN está aumentada em cerca de 4,5% dos fetos cromossomicamente normais 15 , os quais permanecem, porém, com risco elevado de defeitos estruturais, principalmente cardíacos, e resultados gestacionais adversos, como abortamento, óbito fetal ou neonatal, síndromes genéticas e atraso no desenvolvimento neurológico [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] . Em um estudo com 179 fetos com o cariótipo normal e a TN acima do percentil 99, foram encontradas, entre os 162 nascidos vivos acompanhados até os 2 anos de idade, alterações em 11%, sendo metade com defeitos cardíacos [23][24][25] .…”
