FETAL HEAD MEASUREMENTS TRANSCEREBELLAR MEASUREMENT
¢The cerebellum grows at a rate of 1 mm per week between 14 and 21 weeks and thus correlates agreeably with the gestational age of the fetus.
¢ That is to say, that the cerebellum of a 16-week fetus will measure approximately 16 mm.
¢The cerebellum is measured in the transverse plane at the same level as the cistern magna and thalamus
