Patient's question:
During the screening, it was conducted based on the gestational week of 17 weeks. On the same day, the ultrasound showed: one fetal structure was observed in the uterine cavity, with a complete head ring and continuous spine. BPD (Biparietal Diameter): 2.4 cm; Femur: 1.2 cm; Fetal heart rate: 158 beats per minute; Maximum depth of amniotic fluid dark area: 3.3 cm; Placenta: Located on the anterior wall of the uterus, Grade 0.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Based on your description, your situation is indicated by the results of the Down syndrome screening, suggesting a relatively high likelihood of having trisomy 21. In such cases, a re-examination is necessary, along with regular fetal ultrasound checks, which should suffice.Medical Advice: If your test results show high values, the likelihood of trisomy 21 is relatively high. To confirm the diagnosis, it is recommended that you undergo a re-examination. Additionally, if the results remain high, an amniocentesis should be performed. If the amniocentesis results are still abnormal, a termination of pregnancy may be required, as the fetus could have congenital hypotonia. This condition can have serious impacts on the child and the family. If the re-examination results are normal, you can rest assured about continuing the pregnancy.
