Abstract :
Accurate knowledge of gestational age is critical
for obstetric provision and neonatal care. The estimation of
gestational age (GA) from menstrual history is done using
Naegele’s rule and it is the method that is universally used.
Femur is the longest bone, least movable and easily
imageable from second trimester to delivery, so used as
routine parameter for estimation of gestational age.
Additional parameters can provide a more ‘universal
view’ of foetal development than any single measurement.
So Fetal kidney length was measured by ultrasonography to
determine Gestational Age.
The aim of study was to measure foetal kidney length
for evaluation of gestational age by ultrasonography and to
compare assessment of gestational age between Femur
length and Foetal kidney length in third trimester (26-40
weeks) of pregnancy.
Keywords :
Last Menstrual Period (LMP), Gestational Age(GA).
