Gestational age assessment by ultrasound cerebellar measurements in fetal and perinatal deaths
This study shows the feasibility and accuracy of postmortem gestational age evaluation by extrauterine ultrasound measurements of the cerebellum, especially of transcerebellar diameter. Implementation of this method as part of postmortem assessment could improve cause of death attribution, especially in resource-constrained settings.
