Objective: To investigate the fetal breathing-related nasal fluid flow Doppler waveforms as an indicator of fetal respiratory function in fetuses diagnosed with fetal growth restriction (FGR) in the third trimester.
Materials And Methods: This prospective, non-interventional case-control study was conducted on 96 pregnant women, including 23 pregnant women diagnosed with FGR in the third trimester as the FGR group and 73 healthy pregnant women with fetuses appropriate for gestational age (AGA) as the control group. Fetal breathing-related nasal fluid flow Doppler was examined in the fetuses of the participants.

This study aimed to determine cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) nomogram values between 15-28 weeks of gestation. Routine biometric measurements and CSP width were measured by transabdominal ultrasonography in 6042 structurally normal foetuses between 15-28 weeks of gestation. Distribution of CSP width by the week of pregnancy and percentile values were calculated.
