Can transvaginal fetal biometry be considered a useful tool for early detection of skeletal dysplasias in high‐risk patients?

Abstract

An early evaluation of fetal morphology in conjunction with the use of biometric charts of femur length against crown-rump length and femur length against biparietal diameter may be crucial for early diagnosis of severe skeletal dysplasias. By contrast, in less severe cases, biometric evaluation appears to be of no value for diagnosis.
