The Difference between Three Dimensional Ultrasound Volumetry of Gestational and Amniotic Sac Volume as Predictor For Miscarriage in Women With Threatened Abortion

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the role of the difference between three dimensional trans-vaginal ultrasound volumetry of gestational and amniotic sac in prediction of abortion in women with first- trimester threatened abortion. A prospective observational study on 150 pregnant women with threatened abortion from 6 to 12 week of gestation till they complete 24 week of gestation by measuring the gestational and amniotic sac volumes of each case using three dimensional trans-vaginal ultrasound done. It was noticed that 120 case (8o%) completed after 24 weeks of gestation (group A), while 30 case (20%) aborted before 20 weeks of gestation (group B). The groups did not differ in age, parity, number of previous abortions, or term
