Thanks you, Andrea. Speaking of nuchal translucency: I posted some images about two weeks ago of a septated increased NT at about 11 weeks, or CRL about 46 or 47 as I recall. The patient had an early amniocentesis and we are still awaiting the results of that, but I scanned her again two days ago, CRL about 76 or 78 (as I recall - I am home now) and the fetus appeared normal and the nuchal translucency was 2.0 mm. My point: the NT may be more transient than we think. If the scan of two days ago was the first scan we did (she was still well within the nuchal translucency time window) we probably would not have been particularly concerned.

And incidentally, I am constantly amazed at how good an anatomical survey can sometimes be done by transvaginal ultrasound as early as 14-15 weeks. In this case I was able to see the heart well enough to say that the four chamber view and outflow tracts appeared normal.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
