Brief Answer: Hi.BPD is on lower side but needs evaluation Detailed Answer: Hi.Thanks for writing on XXXXXXX BPD (biparietal diameter is measured between both the temples) and indicative of brain growth.Normal BPD at 24 weeks is 6cm and the BPD of your baby correlates to 23 weeks.This simply means that fetal brain growth is not upto the expected size(due to growth retardation).This becomes important only when it is less than 10 percentile. Since there is a small difference in the measured biparietal diameter I also suggest you to correlate correctly with exact gestational age(date your pregnancy). However Head circumference is within normal limits and is okay. The average weight of the baby at 24 weeks is 670 grams.I would like to know how much does your baby weigh? In my opinion you may need frequent measurement (ultrasound) and monitoring to assess the BPD.Discuss with your OG for further management. Hope this helps. All the best.

Brief Answer: Hello.This might require serial monitoring Detailed Answer: Hi.Thanks for writing back. In my opinion these measurements(posterior ventrical, BPD) become significant only when they fall below a certain value on serial measurements(90 percentile etc) Although sonology findings are on a lower side this may not mean that the fetal brain growth is hampered and more obviously its functioning. Growth/Size cannot be correlated to its function directly in all cases. I advice you to discuss with you OG.Hope it reinforces my opinion. Wish you all the best.
