Popis: INTRODUCTION: We aimed to investigate the role of transcerebellar diameter (TCD) on obstetric ultrasound for calculating the fetal gestational age METHODS: The women with a pregnancy of 18-25 weeks (according to date of the last menstrual period(LMP)) who underwent a obstetric ultrasound were included in the study. The biparietal diameter (BPD), femur lenght (FL) and trans-cerebellar diameter (TCD) were calculated and their correlation with the getastional age were examined with statistical analysis. RESULTS: Our study was conducted on 114 pregnant women. The mean age was 27 (+-5-17) and approximately 54% of them were between 21-22 weeks. The value of TCD in millimeters in transabdominal ultrasonography showed a strong positive correlation with LMP(r=0.916, p
