Pelvimetry

Pelvimetry
Purposemeasurement of female pelvis

Pelvimetry is the measurement of the female pelvis.[1] It can theoretically identify cephalo-pelvic disproportion, which is when the capacity of the pelvis is inadequate to allow the fetus to negotiate the birth canal. However, clinical evidence indicate that all pregnant women should be allowed a trial of labor regardless of pelvimetry results.[2]

Indication

Theoretically, pelvimetry may identify cephalo-pelvic disproportion, which is when the capacity of the pelvis is inadequate to allow the fetus to negotiate the birth canal. However, a woman's pelvis loosens up before birth (with the help of hormones).

A Cochrane review in 2017 found that there was too little evidence to show whether X-ray pelvimetry is beneficial and safe when the baby is in cephalic presentation.[3]

A review in 2003 came to the conclusion that pelvimetry does not change the management of pregnant women, and recommended that all women should be allowed a trial of labor regardless of pelvimetry results.[2] It considered routine performance of pelvimetry to be a waste of time, a potential liability, and an unnecessary discomfort.[2]

Components

The terms used in pelvimetry are commonly used in obstetrics. Clinical pelvimetry attempts to assess the pelvis by clinical examination. Pelvimetry can also be done by radiography and MRI.

Low-dose 3D-rendered CT scans can be used for estimating the main pelvimetry parameters:[4]

Parameter Maximum intensity projections[5] Thin slices End points Normal measures
Pelvic inlet Transverse diameter of the pelvic inlet
Coronal plane
The iliopectineal lines, at widest transverse distance. 13 to 14.5 cm.[4]
Obstetric conjugate
Median plane, 20 mm thick
Same, but may require minor side-to-side scrolling to visualize both end points. The line between the closest bony points of the sacral promontory and the pubic bone next to the symphysis 10 to 12 cm.[4]
Interspinous distance
Axial plane
The line between the closest bone points of the ischial spines 9.5 to 11.5 cm.[6]
Pelvic outlet Sagittal pelvic outlet diameter Same, but may require minor side-to-side scrolling to visualize both end points. The closest bony points of the sacrococcygeal joint and the pubic bone next to the symphysis. This is also called the obstetric anteroposterior diameter of the pelvic outlet, to distinguish from the anatomic one which includes the coccyx.[7] However, the coccyx is normally pushed away during childbirth by laxity in the sacrococcygeal joint.[8] 9.5 to 11.5 cm.[6]
Intertuberous diameter
Axial plane
The closest bony points of the ischial tuberosities 10 to 12 cm.[6]

Comparison between an android (left) and a gynecoid pelvis (right).

Traditional obstetrical services relied heavily on pelvimetry in the conduct of delivery in order to decide if natural or operative vaginal delivery was possible or if and when to use a cesarean section.[9] Women whose pelvises were deemed too small received caesarean sections instead of birthing naturally.[citation needed]

Traditional obstetrics have characterized four types of pelvises:[citation needed]

  • Gynecoid: Ideal shape, with round to slightly oval (obstetrical inlet slightly less transverse) inlet.
  • Android: triangular inlet, and prominent ischial spines, more angulated pubic arch.
  • Anthropoid: the widest transverse diameter is less than the anteroposterior (obstetrical) diameter.
  • Platypelloid: Flat inlet with shortened obstetrical diameter.

DNA replication in eukaryotic organisms Eukaryotic DNA replication Eukaryotic DNA replication is a conserved mechanism that restricts DNA replication to once per cell cycle. Eukaryotic DNA replication of chromosomal DNA is central for the duplication of a cell and is necessary for the maintenance of the eukaryotic genome. DNA replication is the action of DNA polymerases synthesizing a DNA strand complementary to the original template strand. To synthesize DNA, the double-stranded DNA is unwou...
