OOPs, messed up my own WEB page URL, left off the last "/". Should have been http://www.io.com/~dubose/ <http://www.io.com/~dubose/> Peace, Terry J. DuBose, M.S., RDMS, FAIUM University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Little Rock, AR, USA -----Original Message----- From: Terry J. DuBose [SMTP:tjdubose@juno.com] Sent: Thursday, May 06, 1999 7:54 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ULTRASOUND Subject: Re: microcephaly Dr. Anthony... I completely understand your dilemma. This may be a case of oxycephaly or turricephaly, so simply head molding. I have been trying to convince sonographers & sonologists since 1985 that the vertical axis of the fetal cranium is the most dynamic. If there is transverse pressure reducing the BPD (dolichocephalic) then the vertical cranial diameter (VCD) is exaggerated much more than the frontalooccipal diameter (FOD or OFD, as you prefer). And if the fetus presses the vertex of its head against the uterine wall, shortening the VCD then the BPD will be exaggerated to compensate (brachycephalic). However, few have paid much attention to the vertical diameter. I published this in the JDMS in 1985 and received the Gottesfeld Award in 1996 for that research. There is an entire chapter (8)in FETAL SONOGRAPHY devoted to the cranial biometry. The easiest way to evaluate the 3D fetal cranium is to use the 3D BPD Correction. For more information, if you do not have FETAL SONOGRAPHY, see my Web pages at: http://www.io.com/~DuBose Of course it can also be microcephaly. If this condition is related to the TORCH infections, then enlargement of the spleen and liver may also be present. I find these questions fascinating... please keep us informed if you get follow-up.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
