“…9 In this study, the highest number of mothers referred to us was for gestational age determination and this was different from some other studies. 9,14 It was followed by assessment of fetal growth and placental localization. In our study no cases were referred to us for detection for some rare conditions that had been mentioned by some other studies.…”

Ultrasound examination of the fetal perineal area was done in third trimester ofpregnancy to determine the fetal sex. We carried out ultrasound on 621 consecutiveobstetrics patients who attended these centers for obstetric causes referred by theirphysicians. Of them 612 had singleton pregnancy and 9 had twin pregnancy. Weattempted to determine the sex of all fetuses (n=630) based on demonstration of maleand female genitalia. In 585 pregnancies, fetal genitalia were well visualized – theaccuracy rate was thus 92.9%, while the rest 7.1% (n=45) could not be determinedwhich was limited by fetal presentation, position, volume of amniotic fluid and colonicgas. Among the correctly determined cases 384 (65.6%) were male and the rest 201(34.4%) were female. About 91% of the mother desired a male child in contrast toonly 3.1% of the mother who desired a female child prior to ultrasound examination.Interesting enough mothers welcoming female child were all multigravida with previousmale child/children. It needs to mention here that no primae mother welcomed femalechild. Some other aspects of prenatal sex determination have also been discussed inthisarticle.Key Words: Ultrasound, Fetal sex, Bangladesh

“…Fetal gender now can be identified with greater than 95% accuracy after 30 weeks' gestation in a majority of patients on routine scans. 55 Ultrasonography also is useful in the evaluation of patients with ambiguous external genitalia, since it can reveal the presence or absence of müllerian-derived reproductive organs. A diagnosis of female pseudohermaphroditism can be made antenatally.…”
