Background: Abnormal fetal ear length is a feature of chromosomal
 disorders. Fetal ear length measurement is a simple measurement that
 can be obtained during ultrasonographic examinations.
 Aims: To develop a nomogram for fetal ear length measurements in our
 population and investigate the correlation between fetal ear length, gestational
 age, and other standard fetal biometric measurements.
 Study Design: Cohort study.
 Methods: Ear lengths of the fetuses were measured in normal singleton
 pregnancies. The relationship between gestational age and fetal ear
 length in millimetres was analysed by simple linear regression. In addition,
 the correlation of fetal ear length measurements with biparietal
 diameter, head circumference, abdominal circumference, and femur
 length were evaluated.Ear length measurements were obtained from
 fetuses in 389 normal singleton pregnancies ranging between 16 and
 28 weeks of gestation.Results: A nomogram was developed by linear regression analysis of
 the parameters ear length and gestational age. Fetal ear length (mm)
 = y = (1.348 X gestational age)-12.265), where gestational ages is in
 weeks. A high correlation was found between fetal ear length and gestational
 age, and a significant correlation was also found between fetal
 ear length and the biparietal diameter (r=0.962; p<0.001). Similar correlations
 were found between fetal ear length and head circumference,
 and fetal ear length and femur length.
 Conclusion: The results of this study provide a nomogram for fetal
 ear length. The study also demonstrates the relationship between ear
 length and other biometric measurements.
