Ultrasound examination is an important diagnostic tool during prenatal check ups. B-ultrasound examination can not only visually observe the development of the baby, but also screen for abnormalities. However, some people have found that there is no relevant record of ear condition on the ultrasound examination form. So why doesn't the ultrasound look at the fetus's ears?
Firstly, during the ultrasound examination, the fetus's ears are examined, but the condition of the ears is not displayed on the ultrasound sheet. If abnormalities or defects are found in the fetal ear development during the examination, the doctor will make a note on the ultrasound examination form.
Secondly, the position of the fetus in the uterus directly affects the results of the ultrasound examination. Sometimes, the position of the fetus hides the ears in a location that cannot be seen by the ultrasound or is obstructed by other parts such as arms and legs. At this time, doctors cannot see the fetus's ears through ultrasound. In addition, the fetal size is relatively small, and the ears are also very small, so even through B-ultrasound examination, it is not possible to fully see the development situation.
As long as other parts of the child are developing normally, the risk of ear deformities is not very high. If pregnant women want to have a more accurate understanding of the condition of their fetus's ears, they can do a four-dimensional ultrasound in mid pregnancy. Four dimensional ultrasound can provide a more intuitive view of a baby's development, ensuring the health of the newborn.
