. Review of Obstetric and Gynecological literature: French.A. Schwab. Mensuration de la tete fetale dans la cavite uterine . (La Bresse medicale 1 Juin 1898, p. 298) . Changes in the fetal head in the uterine cavity.The importance of knowing the size of the fetus, in particular its head, in relation to the size of this pelvis, makes many obstetricians come up with various methods to determine these sizes before delivery. In the article, these methods are described. The method, based on the study of Dubois, Tarnier and See, consists in determining the transverse size of the fetal head by the period of pregnancy: the number of centimeters in diameter is identical to the number of months of pregnancy.
