Abstract
Diagnosis of trisomy 18 was made following prenatal screening at 11 weeks' gestation for ultrasonographically detected nuchal translucency and subsequent chorionic villus sampling. An intact fetus was therapeutically aborted and pathological examination was undertaken. We conclude that, although the etiology of nuchal translucency remains unclear, it does not appear to be lymphatic or cardiac in origin.Keywords
