oedemes de la nuque foetale

ABSTRACT

At the first trimester of pregnancy, the vaginal echography discolses the fetal nucha edema. which when it goes beyond 3mm in size, karyotype abnormalities appear. At the second trimester of pregnancy, we must differentiate between the belated edema of nucha and the thick nucha. So, the detection of abnormalities is possible since the first trimester of pregnancy and if a chromosomal abnormality is found to be present, pregnancy interruption should be carried out
