205mm??? 
Please clarify the measurement.
Even if it is 1 metre I guess the answer would still be true. An increased thickness simply increases the risk of aneuploidy. However even in chromosomally normal fetuses many have structural abnormalities and the outlook is poor.
The guys who have just completed the Essay Writing Technique Course will soon find out all about this as they had an essay on raised NT

True but a bad question really - chromosomally normal - absolutely
As I said they still have a poor outcome as a group and require further assessment and follow up.

Are you absolutely sure of the wording you have quoted?
Does it not qualify the 'normal' with the prefix 'structurally' or 'chromosomally'?
If not, and I cannot remember the exact wording myself, then I stand by my statement that the question is a poor one.
