Prenatal Ultrasonographic Assessment of Fetal Thyroid in Patients With Thyroid Pathology
Sponsor: IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the possibility to use prenatal ultrasonography for diagnosis and prognostic guidance in cases of suspected fetal thyroid changes in fetuses belonging to women with thyroid disease and women with low obstetric risk (i.e., pregnancy not complicated by maternal and/or fetal pathology) between 14 and 37 gestational weeks. The main question it aims to answer is: Is it possible to diagnose thyroid disease in fetuses early using measurable parameters of the fetal thyroid through ultrasonography?
