Abstract:
Fetal stomach circumference were measured sonographically in 100 fetuses with gestational ages ranging from 16 to 40 weeks. Normograms of the mean +/- 2SD for circumference of the fetal stomach were generated throughout pregnancy. A high degree of correlation was observed between gestational age and stomach circumference (r = 0.963). These data provide a method by which variations from the norm can be assessed, and offer potential prenatal diagnosis of a variety of gastrointestinal lesions.
