    biparietal diameter (BPD) means fetal measurement.

    At 35 weeks the average is 88mm

    The BPD are measured on a transverse axial section of the fetal head which includes the falx cerebri anteriorly and posteriorly, the cavum septum pellucidum anteriorly in the midline and the thalami. The BPD is measured from the outer edge of the nearer parietal bone to the inner edge of the more distant parietal bone
