fetal nasal bone is a powerful tool in prenatal screening for Down syndrome(DS)
during the 11-14-week scan, USG will pick it up.
incidence of nasal bone absence is very high (approximately 73%) in fetuses with DS
nasal bone length 2.5 mm or less or if the BPD/NBL ratio is ≥ 10 take as short or less formed nasal bones.
Next Steps
repeat scan and ask gynecologist to do down syndrome screening.... Consult neonatologist / pediatrician
