Can biparietal diameter-to-femur length ratio be a useful sonographic marker for screening thanatophoric dysplasia since the first trimester? A literature review of case reports and a retrospective study based on 10,293 routine fetal biometry measurements

The aim of the study was to determine whether the biparietal diameter/femur length (BPD/FL) ratio can be used to detect thanatophoric dysplasia in the first trimester of pregnancy.
