Extract

The growth-retarded fetus is susceptible to intrauterine death, perinatal asphyxia and subsequently neonatal morbidity. Recent technical advances have only moderately increased the obstetrician's ability to recognize the fetus with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) prior to delivery, compared with two decades ago when less than one-third of such infants were identified before labour and delivery.
