Objective To determine the performance of screening for pre-eclampsia (PET) by maternal characteristics and uterine artery pulsatility index (PI) at 11 + 0 to 13 + 6 weeks' gestation.
Methods
K E Y W O R D S:fetal maxilla; fetal palate; first-trimester screening; frontomaxillary facial angle; three-dimensional ultrasound
ABSTRACTObjective To establish the normal range of the frontomaxillary facial (FMF) angle at 11 + 0 to 13 + 6 weeks of gestation.
Methods In this prospective study, three-dimensional (3D) volumes of the fetal head were obtained from 500 pregnancies before fetal karyotyping by chorionic villus sampling (CVS), after screening by fetal nuchal translucency (NT) thickness and maternal serum free β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) and pregnancyassociated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) at 11
