[Experience with cephalometry in the determination of labor in diabetic pregnant women]
Foetal biparietal diameter was measured with ultrasound techniques in 35 diabetic pregnant mothers. 203 measurements were compared to 589 dates values which were obtained in 100 normal pregnant women. There were no differences in the mean values of biparietal diameter and the weekly growth rates in comparison to non diabetic values. It was concluded at thin diabetic pregnancies in spite of the frequent occurrence of the macrosomie, the ultrasonic diagnostic approach is a suitable method for estimating of the foetal maturity.
