title: [Biparietal diameter and growth rate: employment in the diagnosis of PIFG].
abstract: The ultrasound-examination of 107 pregnancies, submitted to several serial measurements of B.P.D. and B.P.D Growth Rate, showed the diagnosis of Poor Intrauterine Fetal Growth to be possible in only 56,25% of the cases. This result is evidently inacceptable and agrees with literature data showing that head circumference measurements in Small Gestational Age, are, at birth, above the 10 degrees percentile in 54% of the cases.
