Obstetric and neonatal outcomes of pregnancies diagnosed with Foetal Cystic Hygroma anomaly in Bradford
Background
•A foetal cystic hygroma (FCH) is a congenital malformation that presents as fluid filled sacs in the lymphatic system (Figure 1)
•The prognosis of cystic hygromas depends on the stage of diagnosis, with those identified in the first trimester displaying poorer prognoses 2
•Literature suggests around 50% of cases are associated with a chromosomal abnormality3 and most foetuses experience a poor outcome
•The neonatal and paediatric outcomes of these babies are less widely followed up which restricts patient counselling.
•Diverse outcomes of FCH create uncertainty around the prognosis of this diagnosis which is challenging for physicians to communicate
