Informal Case: Nuchal Translucency versus Cystic HygromaFrom: Bowman, Bonnie R (bonnie.r.bowman@boeing.com)Thu Jan 23 10:49:33 2003
I am very interested in this because............ In 1987 I was 34 years old & 6 months pregnant. I had an abnormal ultrasound which showed cystic hygroma's & after an amnio...the amnio showed no chromosonal problems. I decided not to terminate the pregnanacy, it in 1 month I went into labor. As it turns out, the fetus (baby) also had developed fetal hyrdops & was born on Jan. 4th 1988 & lived for approximately 3-1/2 hours. Now, today, my 22 year old daughter (from a previous marriage) is 10 weeks pregnant (just had her ultra sound on Tuesday which showed her fetus also has cystic hygroma's & nucal thickening. What are the chances of this happening within the family unit? What are the chances of this happening again should she decided to terminate & start over? Is this heridatary or just a freak accident? What are the chances of her baby's hygroma's disappearing since they were discovered early in the pregnancy? I'm grateful for any anwers that you can give. Thanks! Now, my daughter (

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.
