[The giant-child in the obstetrical material of district hospital of Stralsund (author's transl)].
A clinical report is given about the giant-children (so-called big-babies) observed in the years 1945 to 1975 at the departement of obstetrics and gynecology of the district hospital of Stralsund. We have found 103 children within a birth-weight greater than or equal to 5000 g among 422229 newborns (= 0.24%) in this period. The obstetrical importance of the giant-children is shown by the advanced frequency of operations and the higher perinatal mortality. The maternal adipositas seems to be related to the intrauterine overgrowth of the fetus.
