Case Discussion
A transvaginal ultrasound study showed a well-defined anechoic lesion in the posterior aspect of the neck of infants with no internal septae and a volume measuring less than 75 cc.
Also noted are subcutaneous oedema, and ascites depicted in the images 1.
Most common in the cervicothoracic regions, they can be associated with Turners, Downs, Edwards, and Patau syndrome.
