“CORRELATIVE STUDY OF PLACENTAL THICKNESS WITH RESPECT TO THE GESTATIONAL AGE AND FETAL WEIGHT BY ULTRASONOLOGICAL EVALUATION ˝
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 19
Abstract
Placental thickness plays an important role when the menstrual age is not known. Placental thickness increases linearly with gestational age. Placental thickness and fetal weights are closely correlated in most circumstances and it fallows nearly a linear pattern except during last few weeks of gestation. Determining the Placental thickness may be helpful in the diagnosis of some abnormalities; a thin placenta may be seen in cases of IUGR and thick placentas are noted in hydrops fetalis of varied causes.
