Fetal Dilated Jugular Lymphatic Sacs on First-Trimester Ultrasound and Their Implications in Antenatal Screening
The first-trimester dilated JLS are highly associated with genetic disorders and/or fetal malformations, but an increased NT remains the most important predictive factor. In cases with normal NT, dilated JLS is mostly a transient finding but approximately one-third of cases are at increased risk of adverse outcomes. .
