“…In our study, history of previous IUGR was not found in 114(100%) patients, previous still birth was found in 110 (96.5%) and whereas previous miscarriage was found in 106(93%) patients. In present study, accuracy was found in 108 (94.7%) patients which is very close to Ali OE et al 490 (98%) patients 12 .…”

Background: Estimating correct gestational age is the first and foremost goal of obstetrician and gynaecologist and cannot be underestimated. Commonly the parameters used are BPD, head circumference (HC), Femur length (FL), Abdominal circumference (AC). Recently transverse cerebellar diameter is a new diagnostic tool to measure the gestational age. Aim: To determine the accuracy of transverse cerebellar diameters in estimating gestational age, taking LMP as the gold standard. Study design: Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study. Setting: This study was conducted at Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, JPMC, Karachi, Pakistan Duration: Six months after the approval of synopsis from January 29 2021 to 28 July 2021. Methods: Ultrasonographic measurement of Transverse Cerebellar Diameter(TCD) was taken. Routine measurements of crown-rump length or bi-parietal diameter were also done. Accuracy was considered if the difference between TCD and LMP was ≤2 mm. Correlation of age on LMP with TCD was tested using Kendall’s tau-b test and its scatter plot as generated. All the collected data was entered into a proforma attached at the end and used electronically for research purposes. Results: A total of 114 patients were inducted after informed consent. Their mean age was 28.18±27.24 years. Maternal age was 28.18 ±27.24 years, maternal weight was 60.59 ±9.64 kg and BMI was 23.58±3.63 kg/m2.Median (IQR) of gravida was 2.0 (2). Mean of gestational age on LMP was 33.84 ±5.29 and was significantly more as measured by TCD was 31.51±5.05 (p<.001). Age on LPM and TCD showed linear correlation. Accuracy of TCD was documented in 108 (94.7%). Conclusion: It is to be concluded that transverse cerebellar diameter was found to be equally good and relatively comparable with LMP in predicting gestational age.

“…However, Ali et al, 6 study comparing between gestational age detected by LMP and each of TCD, FL, AC, and BPD in third trimester of pregnancy showed no statistically significant difference between LMP and each of TCD (P value = 0.106), FL (P value = 3), and AC (P value = 0.496), while significant difference was only detected between LMP and BPD (P value <0.001).…”

“…During second Trimester most commonly used biometric parameters for estimating gestational age are Biparietal diameter (BPD), Femur length (FL) abdominal circumference (AC) and head circumference (HC) 5 . Other biometric parameters including transverse cerebellar diameter, binocular distance and fetal foot length are recently studied to detect the gestational age 6 .…”

“…In the study of Ali et al (2019), the results showed that the trans cerebellar diameter (TCD) is more accurate than the biparietal diameter (BPD). There was insignificant statistical difference between trans cerebellar diameter (TCD) and femur length (FL) for determination of gestational age in the third trimester whereas there was a significant difference between the trans cerebellar diameter (TCD) and the biparietal diameter (BPD) for determination of gestational age in the third trimester.…”
