OBJECTIVE: To propose an anatomic classification for fetal @entity17461 that will be clinically useful and to evaluate the classification's value in predicting @entity2008 , pregnancy outcomes, other @entity2241 , and spontaneous resolution of these lesions. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Tertiary academic hospital and affiliated tertiary @entity1 's hospital. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Mother-baby pairs diagnosed with fetal @entity17461 in a prenatal ultrasound database. Anomalies were classified as nuchal thickening, @entity600 , or @entity600 . Pregnancy outcomes, prevalence of chromosomal and anatomic abnormalities, and rates of spontaneous lesion resolution were determined for each group. RESULTS: The study included 189 @entity1 : 58 with nuchal thickening, 120 with @entity600 , and 11 with @entity600 . In fetuses for whom chromosomal analysis was available, @entity2008 were strongly associated with @entity600 (83%), less associated with nuchal thickening (29%), and not associated with @entity600 . @entity600 predicted high rates of elective (43%) and spontaneous (20%) termination of pregnancy and showed the strongest association with @entity299 . Nuchal thickening was more likely to resolve in utero than @entity600 , while no @entity600 resolved spontaneously. CONCLUSIONS: Fetal nuchal anomalies demonstrate significant and clinically important prognostic differences depending on their anatomic location. The simple classification system proposed here therefore provides useful information to clinicians involved in the pre- and postnatal management of @entity1 with these anomalies.
