Hello,
Open cervical canal of fetus indicate neural tube defect. The evaluation of chromosomal abnormalities such as Down's
syndrome or others have to be confirmed with Quadruple scan of PAPP, Estradiol, Alfa feto protein and Inhibin levels of maternal serum.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
