Abstract

The Relationship of the Fetal Crown-Rump Length to the Yolk Sac Diameter in Normal Pregnancy

Highlights

  • A wanted pregnancy is typically viewed as a time filled with excitement, but the uncertainty about its outcome can be quite worrisome to the patient

  • The primary purpose of this study is to establish normal values for the ratio of the fetal Crown-Rump Length (CRL) to the yolk sac (YS) diameter during the first trimester of normal pregnancy and determine whether it correlates with gestational age

  • The patients were distributed based on their gestational age intervals: N1 for 5-5 6/7 weeks, N2 for 6- 6 6/7 weeks, N3 for Copyright © All rights are reserved by : Daniel Faustin

Summary

Introduction

A wanted pregnancy is typically viewed as a time filled with excitement, but the uncertainty about its outcome can be quite worrisome to the patient. The yolk sac is the primary source of nutrition, metabolic, immunologic, excretory, and hematopoietic functions prior to placental development, and the CRL is known to accurately correlate with gestational age during the first trimester of pregnancy [6,7,8,9,10]. While these measurements have typically been looked at individually, the current understanding of the relationships between them is limited. The primary purpose of this study is to establish normal values for the ratio of the fetal Crown-Rump Length (CRL) to the yolk sac (YS) diameter during the first trimester of normal pregnancy and determine whether it correlates with gestational age
