- Abstract
This article, titled "EP18.16: Fetal dilated jugular lymphatic sacs on first trimester ultrasound and their implications in antenatal screening," explores the clinical significance and rate of genetic anomalies and fetal malformations in fetuses with dilated jugular lymphatic sacs (JLS) during the first trimester ultrasound. The study found that the presence of dilated JLS was associated with an increased nuchal translucency (NT) thickness in the majority of cases. Fetal structural anomalies were identified in a significant number of cases, and genetic anomalies, particularly chromosomal anomalies, were also present. The article concludes that the presence of dilated JLS, especially in combination with increased NT, is highly associated with genetic disorders and/or fetal malformations. However, cases with isolated dilated JLS and NT <95th percentile generally had good pregnancy outcomes.
