A case report of a cystic hygroma detected in utero by ultrasound at 16 weeks' gestation is presented. The potential for early second trimester detection of both CNS and non‐CNS structural defects by diagnostic ultrasound is discussed. “High risk” groups for fetal structural defects can be identified for screening purposes.
