title: [Behavior of the bi-parietal diameter (BPD) and antero-posterior diameter of the abdomen (APDA) in insufficient intrauterine development of the fetus: preliminary notes].
abstract: Considering the PIFG ultrasonic diagnosis limitations bu the only Biparietal Diameter (BPD) estimation, the autors test the possibilities of a new technique: the serial measurement of Antero-Posterior Diameter of Abdomen (APAD) and especially the head/abdomen diameters ratio. The preliminary data are enough confortable allowing us to improve considerably the success in PIFG diagnosis (44,44% to 80%).
