| Popis: | OBJECTIVE: To establish reference values for fetal nasal bone length measurements between 11 and 15 gestational weeks in a Brazilian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was developed with 171 normal pregnant women between their 11th and 15th gestational weeks. The fetal nasal bone was measured by means of transabdominal ultrasound in all of the cases. The 5th and 95th percentiles for the nasal bone length were calculated by the formula: mean ± 1.645 standard deviation. The Spearman correlation coefficient with 95% confidence interval was utilized to correlate the nasal bone length with fetal anthropometric parameters. RESULTS: The nasal bone could be measured in all of the cases with the mean length ranging between 1.69 mm and 2.94 mm. Nasal bone length demonstrated to be strongly correlated with all of the fetal anthropometric parameters (p < 0.001) and with the gestational age (R² = 0.59). CONCLUSION: Despite the preliminary character of the present study, a reference range of fetal nasal bone length was established. |
