POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. The absence of the nasal bone and the right umbilical artery during an NT scan at 12.5 weeks can indicate potential concerns, but it is important to understand that these findings alone do not necessarily confirm any specific condition. The absence of the nasal bone has been associated with an increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome, but it can also occur in healthy pregnancies. The absence of the right umbilical artery might not always be a concern, as some babies can have a single umbilical artery and still have normal development.
It's important to follow up with further testing and consultation with your healthcare provider or a maternal-fetal medicine specialist. They may recommend additional tests such as a detailed ultrasound, blood tests, or possibly an amniocentesis or CVS (Chorionic Villus Sampling) to assess the risk of chromosomal conditions. The next steps depend on your overall risk factors, medical history, and the results of additional screenings.
Always seek professional guidance for a clear understanding and personalized recommendations based on your specific situation.
