Patient's question:
Currently 34 weeks pregnant, ultrasound data: biparietal diameter 91mm, head circumference 328mm, abdominal circumference 329mm, femur length 65mm, humerus length 59mm. The doctor recommended going to a higher-level hospital for follow-up! Is the baby's head too large due to hydrocephalus? Why can't the ultrasound show hydrocephalus?Doctor's answer:
Guidance: Based on your ultrasound results, the biparietal diameter and femur length of the fetus are consistent, and they are slightly larger compared to your actual gestational age. This situation indicates that your nutrition is sufficient, leading to the fetus's accelerated growth, which is a relatively common occurrence. Therefore, you do not need to worry. As long as there are no abnormal findings in the fetal head, you can rest assured. Additionally, the due date should still be calculated based on this menstrual period, not the ultrasound results. The ultrasound results are not entirely accurate.
