Question
I’m 25 years old and had a check-up at 13 weeks. The results were as follows: An echo of a fetus was seen in the uterine cavity, the spine was slightly visible, the nasal bone was visible, fetal movement was visible, and the fetal heart rate was 149 beats per minute. The placenta was located on the anterior uterine wall, with a thickness of about 16.7mm, and the maximum depth of amniotic fluid was 41.3mm. The NT value was 2.6mm. Should I be worried if there is no obvious thickening?
Answer
Disease Analysis: NT thickening may be associated with chromosomal abnormalities (such as Trisomy 21) or congenital heart structural anomalies. It is recommended to consider further examination or follow-up based on the clinical situation.
