Aims: The purpose of this study was to evaluate accuracy trans-cerebellar diameter / abdominal circumference (TCD/AC) ratio assess fetal growth. TCD with head (HC) and biparietal (BPD) also determined. Methods: This a prospective cross-sectional involving 442 women uncomplicated singleton gestation between 15-40 weeks. Protocol included obtaining the BPD, HC, AC in conventional planes other biometric parameters.Results: We were able visualize cerebellum about 93% scans. TCD/ remained nearly constant throughout gestational age 0.138. mean TCD/HC 0.124 TCD/BPD 0.476.Conclusions: showed small increase towards completion while TCD/AC age. is reliable as independent parameter growth.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njog.v9i2.11770
