Advances in prenatal diagnosis and decision to terminate pregnancy at University Clinic of Gynecology and Obestetrics

Objective
The purpose of prenatal diagnosis is to obtain the appropriate information regarding prognosis, risk of
recurrence, and potential therapy, and thus achieve optimum outcome for the fetus and the mother. Making
a decision to terminate pregnancy is always on the parents’ indication that the fetus with an increased
nuchal translucency may have a normal karyotype at the start of diagnosis, a range of malformations that
may develop later in pregnancy and after screening for organic malformations of 20-24 gestational week,
as well as a long list of explanations for possible consequences in relation to the fetus if pregnancy is not
terminated
