CONCLUSION
Fetal oedema in early pregnancy is associated with a high incidence of
structural and chromosomal abnormalities, and these rates increase with
progressive severity of fetal oedema. Identification of fetal oedema on
the pre-NIPT scan should be followed by a detailed 11 to
13+6 weeks fetal anatomy assessment and individualized
counselling regarding the different options for aneuploidy screening and
diagnosis should be offered in these cases.
