Question 1

cauc, 30 & 1st preg. negative triple and nt test on 1st screen. 1/6123 risk for ds. 20 week screen showed fetal nasal bone at 4.6mm. high risk for ds?

Accepted Answer

Fairly unlikely: Fetal nasal bone length is not a commonly assessed marker at 20wks gestation, instead we care more at 11-13wks. As fetuses grow, epigenetics and the environment have more of an effect on growth so a small nasal bone at this gestational age is not necessarily predictive in the setting of other reassuring testing. A noninvasive blood test may help to provide more reassurance.
