Abstract
Serial ultrasonic assessments of gestational sac (GS) and fetal biparietal diameter (BPD) were performed in the Japanese monkey (Macaca fuscata fuscata), rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta), and crab‐eating monkey (Macaca fascicularis). In the Japanese monkey, GS increased linearly for 3–8 weeks, whereas BPD increased in a linear‐quadratic manner over 8 weeks to term. Ultrasonic assessments of spontaneously aborted fetuses with BPD growth retardation and diagnosis of a pelvic chocolate cyst also were reported.Keywords
