Nuchal fold thickness in anomaly scan
Hello, in my 21week+3 days anomaly scan everything is fine except nuchal fold thickness which is 5.5mm.
In 1st trimester NT scan and double marker test were low risk. Is it worrisome?

Nuchal thickness is normally checked at the time of Double Marker test which is done at 11 or 12 weeks. If it was normal at that time then no cause for concern.

Nuchal thickness is checked at the time of first trimester scan at 11-14 weeks. If it was normal at that time and dual marker test was negative then no need to worry.

This is the wrong time to check the nuchal thickness
NT is checked during the NT nB scan
If it was normal in the first trimester and the double marker test was screen negative nothing to worry
