Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create new reference charts for measuring the length of the fetal corpus callosum (CC) during the third trimester, based on a large sample of healthy fetuses, and establish growth evaluation standards using CC length ratios.
- Conducted from November 2021 to June 2022 at a specialized fetal ultrasound center, the research involved precise measurements of the CC in fetuses aged 17 to 36 weeks, excluding those with inaccurate gestational ages or high risk of brain abnormalities.
- Results showed high measurement quality (92.8% accuracy) and established a formula for CC length based on gestational age, with consistent ECOFD/CC and HC/CC ratios, proposing them as additional markers for normal CC

Background: The impact of using the Intergrowth (IG) dating formulae in comparison to the commonly used Robinson dating on the evaluation of biometrics and estimated fetal weight (EFW) has not been evaluated.
Methods: Nationwide cross-sectional study of routine fetal ultrasound biometry in low-risk pregnant women whose gestational age (GA) had been previously assessed by a first trimester CRL measurement. We compared the CRL-based GA according to the Robinson formula and the IG formula.
