Abstract

 


Cystic hygroma is a congenital anomaly and its incidence is 1.7-5%. It is seen together with chromosomal abnormalities and usually associated with Turner syndrome. Prenatal diagnosis is possible earlier in pregnancy with ultrasonography. We have discussed a case with cystic hygroma diagnosed prenatally.
