Abstract
Cystic hygroma [CH] is a rare congenital malformation, it is a fluid filled sac resulting from blockage in the lymphatic system. CH is usually presented in the posterior triangle of neck (B/L) but can be found in other body parts such as chest, legs, groin and buttocks. A literature review revealed that for CH 42% of infants are 45*0, 38% have a normal karyotype and 18% have trisomies. survival rate for fetal cystic hygroma is 10%,extensive usage of usg has increased the rate of detection of CH in pregnancy2. It can be detected on usg from the end of the 1st trimester. The prognosis depends on chromosome analysis, associated anomalies and the size of fetal cystic hygroma. Causes of CH is viral infection passed from mother to baby during pregnancy, exposure to drugs or alcohol during pregnancy. CH may be associated with nuchal lymphangioma or fetal hydrops.
