Abstract
The ultrasound estimation of fetal weight is now in wide spread use, to aid in the reduction of perinatal morbidity and mortality , for the pr opar management of at rispregnancies and, in screening to detect aberrant fetal growth. Since the introduction of .ulltrasound in obestetrics it has replaced the other methods for prediction of fetal weight being easier non-inasive , safe, accurate, and can be repeated several times without any detectable risk or even discomfort for the mother. The bipadetal diameter <BPD>, being the fetal parameter most common1y studied and has been correlated with ,gestational age, was also the first parameter tried to be correlated with fetal weight. However, no significant reliable correlated with fetal weight. However, no significant reliable correlations could be found for prediction of fetal /weight depending Fetal weight prediction by the measurement of a single abdominal dimension, Such as abdominal circumference (AC) has been advocated as simple and reliable method. The .: sensitivity of abdominal diameters over other fetal parameters has been stressed by Campbell (1974) and Wittmann.
