Brief Answer:
Borderline high value for nuchal fold thickness. But not abnormal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr. XXXXXXX

Thank you for posting your query here on healthcaremagic.com.

I can understand your anxiety regarding the ultrasound report.

The report mentions that the nuchal fold thickness is 0.28 cm (2.8mm). This may be considered high normal in your case.

Other finding that is mentioned is, nasal bone. This reduces the risk of Downs syndrome.

This report at this time does not appear to be confirmatory for anything. Please talk to your obstetrician and follow his/her advice regarding further testing.

I hope this answers your query.

Best regards.
