Abstract:
Objective To explore the ultrasonic imaging features of fetal craniocerebrum, and improve the recognizition on the normal structure and deformity of fetal craniocerebrum. Methods Fetal cranium was measured during 12～40 weeks of gestation, including biaparietal diameter(BPD),lateral ventricular width(LVW),cerebellomedullary cistern(CM), and nuchal translucency(NT) or nuchal fold thickness(NF). Results 18 cases of abnormal craniocerebrum were identified,nine cases of which were accompanied with other abnormalities, and fourteen of which were found during 16～28 weeks of gestation. All cases were proved by subsequent labor or induced labor. Conclusion Second-trimester is the best period of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of fetal craniocerebrum.
