Antenatal macrosomia prediction using sonographic fetal abdominal circumference in South Tunisia.

Introduction: Identifying newborns who weight 4000 g or more is important because birth of macrosomic fetuses is associated with adverse peripartum outcomes. Ultrasound is widely used for this purpose Our objective was to evaluate the diagnostic value of sonographic measurement of fetal abdominal circumference (AC) over 350 mm for the prediction of fetal macrosomia and shoulder dystocia, to specify factors that could generate errors in its measure.

Methods: A retrospective clinical trial was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hédi Chaker Hospital, Sfax, Tunisia.
