cavum septum pellucidi (CSP)
resolves 2 yrs after birth
low maternal AFP levels
are assoc. with chromosomal abnormalities
abdominal circumference
a better predictor of fetal growth
biparietal diameter
a good predictor of gest. age up to 20 wks
LVOT
ascending aorta (aortic valve) right atrium to left ventricle
RVOT
pulmonary artery
left atrium to right ventricle
cause for elevated maternal AFP levels
abd. wall defect underestimation of gest. age multifetal gestations open neural tube defects cystic hygroma fetal death
choroid plexus cyst
normal finding that generally resolves by 25 wks. gest.
if they persist, it is a marker for trisomy 18
renal pelvis measurement in a fetus
33 wks. gest. AP = 7mm
