Down Syndrome

It can only detect 50% kasi Congenital Scan is more on the physical structure ng bata. If tama ba ang sizes ng bawat extremities niya sa age. Makikita if may nose bridge, cleft palate etc since these are visible physical birth defects. But mental retardation and down syndrome can be accurately detected pag nag pa Nuchal Translucency Scan ka between 10 weeks to 14 weeks. Mineameasure kasi dun ung fluid sa likod ng batok ng bata. If its higher than .3 mm, high probability ng down syndrome/mental retardation.
