Hi doctor
Age32
In my scan nasal bone uncertain
What is the chances of down syndrome
Reports are attached
Brief Answer:
Risk is increased
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic
The risk Down syndrome is increased in case nasal bone is absent but in your case dual test and nuchal translucency is normal so you can wait for nasal bone to appear and also till anomaly scan at 16 weeks.
If that comes Normal then nothing to worry
But in case anomaly scan at 16 weeks comes abnormal then there is no choice but to go on with amniocentesis for further evaluation and surety
All the best
