Question

Last year, I had a baby induced due to a similar condition. This time, during the 30th week of pregnancy, an ultrasound revealed a biparietal diameter of 78 millimeters, an abdominal circumference of 71 millimeters, a femur length of 48 millimeters, and an amniotic fluid level of 83 millimeters. I am asking whether this is a sign of cartilage dysplasia and what should be done about it.

Answer

Based on the ultrasound results, the fetus’s femur length is slightly shorter. It is recommended to undergo chromosome testing and further examinations, and to decide on induction based on the results.
