Would appreciate some insight

Hi im 14 weeks pregant With my 2nd child and 2 weeks ago i had to have a cvs test to see if my baby had down syndrome or turners syndrome, as it turns out my babies a boy :) so no chance of turners since it only effects females the provisional results come back and every thing was clear, how ever i am imformed that he has a cystic hygroma i would really appreciate it if anyone could please tell me once born what could be the issues? physical, mental and chance of death??? i am very concerned

It's considered a benign condition unless it blocks or compromises the airway, and is operable and has a good prognosis unless not all the parts of the hygroma can be removed.  Obviously a lot will have to be determined based on the future development of the baby.  Here is what the National Institutes of Health say:
