Comparison of sonographic measurement of transcerebellar diameter and fetal footlength with biometric parameters for the estimation of gestational age in pregnant women

Introduction: An accurate estimation of fetal gestational age is the cornerstone for the management of all pregnancies, especially necessary for determining the fetal viability, involving obstetric interventions terminating pregnancies and assess and predict fetal outcome. Ultrasound gave clinicians a method to estimate gestational age, growth and accuracy by measuring fetal biometry [1]. However, non-biometric parameters such as Transcerebellar diameter and foot length can be reliably used as surrogate parameters in those situations.
