“…Rajendra TM [15] in their study concluded that TCD is an accurate parameter in estimation of gestational age in second and third trimesters and its values are in close relation with that of GA by LMP. Eze CU et al [16] also concluded that the sonographically measured TCD was more accurate as a single estimator of GA than BPD, HC, AC, and FL in the late stages of pregnancy in their study.…”

Accurate assessment of gestational age (GA) is pivotal to provide good quality maternity care. Reliability of routinely used ultrasonographic biometric parameters like Biparietal diameter (BPD), Head circumference (HC) and Femur length (FL) decrease with increasing GA.Fetal kidney length (FKL) and transverse cerebellar diameter (TCD) have been shown to strongly correlate with GA in 2nd and 3rd trimester.The present study was conducted on 150 pregnant women at 20 weeks of gestation to evaluate the role of FKL and TCD in estimation of GA and compare their accuracy with other established biometric indices. The GA of the included women was confirmed by early dating scan and exact Last Menstrual Period (LMP).BPD,HC,FL,FKL and TCD were calculated in millimetres (mm) and GA was calculated by using these parameters individually. Standard deviation and standard error of the GA calculated at 20 weeks was lesser for TCD and FKL than BPD, HC and FL with p values of 0.01636 and 0.0129 respectively. It was also observed that values of TCD and FKL in mm correspond to GA in weeks. So it was concluded that FKL and TCD can be used as an individual parameter in estimating GA in mid trimester in patients presenting for the first time with uncertain dates, lack of early dating scan or with IUGR.

“…Another 41 articles were considered from other sources, of which 17 were included. The final analysis included 97 full‐text articles 2,17–111 published between 1974 and 2021 (Figure 1, Table S2). Most excluded studies (309 articles, including 18 conference abstracts) did not report an equation to estimate mean or median GA from given measurements or tested an existing formula rather than reporting a new formula (Figure 1).…”

“…Por otra parte, una investigación halló mayor exactitud para la predicción de la EG para el DBP, comparado con DTC y LF (21) . Las diferencias entre los diferentes estudios pueden ser debidas a que en esas investigaciones dividieron la EG por grupos (22) .…”

Objetivo. Establecer la utilidad de la medición del diámetro transversal del cerebelofetal para la predicción de la edad gestacional. Diseño. Estudio de cohortes,prospectivo y longitudinal. Institución. Hospital Central “Dr. Urquinaona”, Maracaibo,Venezuela. Participantes. Mujeres con embarazos simples de bajo riesgo, entre las14 y las 40 semanas de gestación. Métodos. Se midieron los valores de diámetrobiparietal, circunferencia abdominal, longitud del fémur y diámetro transverso delcerebelo fetal durante la duración del embarazo. Principales medidas de resultado.Predicción de la edad gestacional por medición de diámetro transverso del cerebelo.Resultados. Fueron seleccionados los datos de 215 embarazadas. Se realizaron untotal de 3,858 evaluaciones totales, siendo el menor número de evaluaciones 131 alas 18 semanas y el mayor número 157 a las 28 semanas. El diámetro transversaldel cerebelo presentó correlaciones fuertes, positivas y significativas con la edadgestacional por fecha de última menstruación y las mediciones ecográficas (p< 0,001). El modelo de edad gestacional predicha por el diámetro transverso delcerebelo alcanzó un valor del coeficiente de determinación de 0,908. La correlaciónentre la edad gestacional por fecha de última menstruación y la predicha por elmodelo alcanzó un valor de r = 0,953 (p < 0,001). Conclusión. La medición del diámetrotransversal del cerebelo es un parámetro útil para predecir la edad gestacional enembarazadas sanas.
