Abstract:
The relative growth of the cerebellum was studied in 300 human foetuses by using of the equation Y = bxk. The cerebellum weight was correlated to the cephalic perimeter and to the fetal weight. The relative growth of the cerebellum presented positive allometry (k = 3.3; k = 1.3 respectively). Masculine foetus presented greater index than feminine foetus.
