The imaging results initially suggested disease recurrence but were later found to be false positive and due to 131I uptake in a necklace that had been contaminated by the patient's saliva.

Nuchal cords are associated with higher birth weights and lower cesarean section rates than births without nuchal cords. Color Doppler ultrasound, intended specifically to diagnose nuchal cords hours before delivery, has diagnosed the presence of 35-80% of the nuchal cords found on delivery, and has a false positive rate of 19%.
