Background: Transcerebellar diameter (TCD) is a novel unique measure that is well established in the ultrasound literature as a dependable criterion for estimating gestation length, and it is steadily predominant in predicting GA in singleton and twin gestation, as well as at the fetal growth extremes. The aim of this work was to evaluate the value of use of TCD as a reliable predictor in singleton gestations of GA in SGA pregnancies. Methods: This cross-sectional research enrolled 40 pregnant w
