title: The spontaneous resolution of cystic hygromas and early fetal growth delay in fetuses with trisomy 18.
abstract: The spontaneous resolution of cystic hygromas in fetuses with trisomy 18 may be due to a delay in lymphatic-vascular anastomosis. The severity of growth delay with trisomy 18 appears to be variable in time of onset and extent.
