Ultrasound Assessment of the Fetal Pancreas in Normal and Abnormal Pregnancies: A Narrative Review

This narrative review investigates the feasibility and implications of ultrasound assessments of the fetal pancreas in both normal and high-risk pregnancies, aiming to understand how pancreatic measurements relate to maternal metabolic status and fetal outcomes. The findings suggest that pancreatic biometry can be reliably obtained and may serve as a valuable tool for predicting gestational diabetes and identifying growth restrictions, although further standardization and validation are necessary before these assessments can be routinely integrated into prenatal care.
