Amaç
The aim of the study was to obtain correlation between nasal bone measurements and gestational weeks.
Yöntem
One-hundred and seventy-seven normal fetuses with a crown-rump lenght (CRL) ranging from 40,9 to 89,9 mm were examined in cross-sectional study. The nasal bone distance and nuchal translucency were recorded in the CRL plain.
Bulgular
A significant inerease in mean nasal bone measurement with increasing CRL was noted (l,5mm to 2,5; r=0,1295; p=<0,001). There were no significantly correlation between the mean of nasal bone and nuchal translucency measurements (1,1 to 2,4 p=O,435). Also there was no any correlation with the increased NT (over +2SD) and nasal bone.
Sonuç
There is no correlation between nasal bone measurement and nuchal tickness. Therefore both are independent parameters. The nasal bone measurement changes with advancing gestational age.
