Conclusion: the article emphasizes in the scan interpretation of the characteristic findings of the DT and the differential diagnostic with Achondroplasia, as well as the need to focus the restriction growth diagnosis criteria on function of the fetal growth curve, not reassigning a new gestational age with each new scan.
