[Severe fetal growth retardation by maternal heroin addiction. A casuistic report (author's transl)].
A case of poor intrauterine fetal growth is reported, observed during the pregnancy of a 16 years old heroin addicted primigravida. Near on term she was delivered of an almost mature male liveborn of only 37 cm and 1300 g. Our results of placental function-tests with reference to otherwise reported effects of maternal heroin addiction are discussed.
