nuchal translucency (NT)
Explanation:
Nuchal translucency (NT) is a term used to describe a sonolucent area in the nuchal region (back of the neck) of the fetus and is typically observed in the first trimester. Nuchal translucency screening provides a couple with an individual specific risk for having a child with Down syndrome.

Kindslage: fetal lie, presentation

Chorionizität (chorionicity): monochorionic siblings develop within the same chorion and are obligatory monozygous (identical) siblings. Dichorionic siblings develop within their own chorion. Identical twins can be dichorionic if the splitting of the conceptus occurs prior to the formation of the chorion (usually before implantation).
