Skull Shape
Fetal Skull Shape during TIFA
Definition: Evaluation of the contour and proportions of the fetal skull in axial, sagittal, and coronal planes during the anomaly scan (TIFA).
Normal Shape: The fetal skull typically appears oval and symmetrical with smooth, regular outlines. The biparietal diameter and head circumference are used for biometric assessment.
Abnormal Variants:
- Dolichocephaly: Elongated skull, often due to breech position or oligohydramnios.
- Brachycephaly: Shortened, widened skull, may be seen in chromosomal abnormalities (e.g., trisomy 21).
- Lemon-shaped skull: Indentation of frontal bones, associated with open neural tube defects (spina bifida).
- Cloverleaf skull: Trilobed appearance, linked with skeletal dysplasias.
- Strawberry-shaped skull: Flattened occiput with pointed frontal bones, sometimes associated with trisomy 18.
Clinical Relevance: Skull shape assessment aids in detecting craniosynostosis, chromosomal anomalies, and neural tube defects.

Cephalic Index (CI)
Definition: (BPD ÷ OFD) × 100.
Interpretation: CI >85 → Brachycephaly; CI <70 → Dolichocephaly.
Clinical Use: Helps interpret HC and BPD in the context of head shape anomalies.
Gestational Age (Weeks) | Normal CI Range (%) | Interpretation |
14–16 | 72–84 | Within normal limits |
17–20 | 71–85 | Within normal limits |
21–24 | 70–86 | Within normal limits |
25–28 | 70–85 | Within normal limits |
29–32 | 70–85 | Within normal limits |
33–36 | 70–85 | Within normal limits |
37–40 | 70–85 | Within normal limits |
Note: Minor variations exist across populations and machines. Always interpret CI alongside BPD, OFD, HC, and clinical context.

Cavum Septum Pellucidum (CSP)
Definition: Small, fluid-filled midline structure anterior to the thalami.
Plane: Same as BPD.
Clinical Use: Presence confirms normal midline development; absence may indicate holoprosencephaly or agenesis of corpus callosum.

Fronto-Occipital Index (FOI)
Definition: Ratio of the occipitofrontal diameter (OFD) to the biparietal diameter (BPD), expressed as a percentage.
Plane: Axial plane of the fetal head at the level of the thalami and cavum septi pellucidi, ensuring symmetric hemispheres and visualization of midline falx.
Calculation: FOI = (OFD / BPD) × 100
Normal Range: Typically 70–85%. - FOI < 70% → Suggests brachycephaly. - FOI > 85% → Suggests dolichocephaly.
Clinical Use: Assesses skull shape and head molding; useful in differentiating abnormal skull configurations which may affect BPD reliability in gestational age estimation.
Gestational Age (Weeks) | Expected FOI (%) | Interpretation |
