The nuchal is a term used to refer to the nape or back of the neck in a human body. It primarily provides support and flexibility to the head and allows for movements such as nodding and rotating. Additionally, the nuchal region houses important structures like the nuchal ligament and the occipital lymph nodes.
Thickened nuchal fold do exist with babies with Downs. If ultrasound shows this, it surely means one thing - a triple test as well as amniocentesis - a MUST - for confirmation.
