Foetal Thigh Circumference: A Critical Evaluation of Its Relationship to Menstrual Age
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
Accurate knowledge of foetal growth is clinically relevant to aid evaluation of diagnostic measurements of foetal growth and to identify potentially compromised gestations so as to enable timely intervention and management protocols. Intrauterine growth retardation is most commonly defined on the basis of a weight below the 10th percentile for gestational age. Growth retarded foetuses are at increased risk for perinatal morbidity and mortality. The evaluation of individual thigh circumference measurements and identification of foetuses with reduced soft tissue mass require definition of a growth curve for this in normally growing foetuses which the present study intends to achieve.
