Fetal Penile Length and Corpus Cavernosum Length - Normal Measurement Via Ultrasound
Summary
Hypothesis: Measurement of fetal penis length by ultrasound may be inaccurate when measured from the scrotum to the penile tip. we will provide normal values of penile length measured from the penile tip to the abdominal wall and measuring the corpus cavernosum length.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Epispadias
A birth defect due to malformation of the URETHRA in which the urethral opening is above its normal location. In the male, the malformed urethra generally opens on the top or the side of the PENIS, but the urethra can also be open the entire length of the penis. In the female, the malformed urethral opening is often between the CLITORIS and the labia, or in the ABDOMEN.
Penile Induration
A condition characterized by hardening of the PENIS due to the formation of fibrous plaques on the dorsolateral aspect of the PENIS, usually involving the membrane (tunica albuginea) surrounding the erectile tissue (corpus cavernosum penis). This may eventually cause a painful deformity of the shaft or constriction of the urethra, or both.
Balanitis
Inflammation of the head of the PENIS, glans penis.
Foreskin
The double-layered skin fold that covers the GLANS PENIS, the head of the penis.
Fetal Distress
A nonreassuring fetal status (NRFS) indicating that the FETUS is compromised (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists 1988). It can be identified by sub-optimal values in FETAL HEART RATE; oxygenation of FETAL BLOOD; and other parameters.
Clinical Trials
