Abstract
Our study reports five cases of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of nuchal cystic hygroma and early diagnosis for both fetus and mother. We observed that nuchal cystic hygroma is frequently associated to cytogenetic abnormalities, congenital structural anomalies and non-immune hydrops fetus universalis.
