FETAL SOFT MARKERS IN OBSTETRIC

ULTRASOUND
BETWEEN 16 TO 20 WEEKS
Recommendation:

1 Assessment of cord vessels is considered a part of the routine obstetric ultrasound at 16 to 20 weeks.
2. The finding of a single umbilical artery requires a more detailed review of fetal anatomy, including kidneys and
heart (fetal echo)

3. An isolated single umbilical artery does not warrant invasive testing for fetal aneuploidy.
