Résumé
To examine the association between cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) and corpus callosum (CC) length and width measurements in mid-trimester sonographic screening in normal fetuses. This prospective cohort study examined 152 pregnant women who underwent mid-trimester sonographic fetal anomaly screening. CSP and CC lengths and their anterior, middle, and posterior width measurements were examined sonographically. The association between length and width measurements of both structures, gestational week and CSP ratio (length/width) were evaluated. The mean CSP length was 7.96 ± 1.09 mm, and the mean middle width was 3.43 ± 0.82 mm. The mean CC length was 20 ± 3.76 mm, and the mean middle width was 3.43 ± 0.82 mm. There was a positive correlation between CSP and CC lengths (r = 0.691, p < 0.001). There was also a significant correlation between CSP and CC anterior, middle and posterior widths (anterior (r = 0.366, p < 0.001), middle (r = 0.305, p < 0.001), and posterior (r = 0.233, p = 0.004)). All CSP and CC measurements were correlated with gestational age, biparietal diameter (BPD), and head circumference (HC) (p < 0.001, for all). The CSP ratio was not related to CC dimensions (p > 0.05, for all) and also decreased with the increase in BPD and HC dimensions (r = -0.186, p = 0.022, and r = -0.174, p = 0.032; respectively). In normal fetuses, the length and width of the CC and CSP structures developed in relation to each other, as well as to the gestational week, BPD, and HC dimensions. In addition, while the CSP ratio was not found to be associated with CC dimensions, it decreased due to the increase in BPD and HC sizes.
