title: [Sonography of fetal growth behavior in maternal diabetes mellitus].
abstract: In the Gynaecological Hospital affiliated to the District Hospital of Karl-Marx-Stadt, which is a care centre for pregnant diabetic women, 363 diabetic women of classes White A-F 1779 were subjected to ultrasonic examinations between 1982 and 1988. In this connection, nominal-value graphs were prepared to show the biparietal diameter (BIP), the medium thorax diameter and the head-thorax index in dependence upon the gestational age. These nominal-value graphs give a general idea of the specific fetal growth behaviour in case of diabetes mellitus. They permit to reliably diagnose a fetal hypertrophy or hypotrophy. Moreover, they provide a starting point for a more effective coverage of gestational diabetics and open up new prospects for insulinisation.
