Increased fetal nuchal translucency: possible association with esophageal atresia

Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol. 2000 Jun;15(6):531-2. doi: 10.1046/j.1469-0705.2000.00132.x.

Abstract

We describe a case in which in-utero diagnosis of an esophageal atresia with a tracheo-esophageal fistula in the third trimester followed the finding of an increased nuchal translucency in the first trimester and suggest a mechanism by which these two findings might be associated.
