Abstract

To assess the performance of first-trimester ultrasound (US) in identifying major fetal structural abnormalities in an unselected population. We conducted a retrospective analysis of all pregnancies that underwent the 11- to 14-week scan in the Fetal Medicine Department of Filantropia Hospital in Bucharest, which were prospectively examined within our screening program. The purpose of the first-trimester US was to evaluate the risk for chromosomal abnormalities and to conduct fetal anatomic examination using a detailed protocol. Our population consisted of 7480 pregnant patients (7576 fetuses). The follow-up was completed for 6045 patients (6114 fetuses). The prevalence of major structural anomalies was 1.89%. In the first trimester, we identified 79% of all major structural anomalies. The highest detection rates were achieved for abdominal wall defects (100%), major central nervous system anomalies (88%), cardiac defects (74%), and skeletal anomalies (71%). The nuchal translucency was increased in 35% of the cases with structural anomalies, and 95% of these were diagnosed in the first trimester. Seventy percent of the patients who presented with structural anomalies and a normal nuchal translucency were diagnosed in the first ...Continue Reading
