Intrauterine growth retardation: a neonatologist's approach.
Early recognition of intrauterine growth retardation, and recognition of these compromised infants at birth, is essential, to correct, if possible, any adverse intrauterine influence; then, to provide proper nursery care, screening for abnormalities, and proper post-natal nutrition.  Improved management of both the in-utero and the ex-utero environment may offer these neonates a more favorable prognosis for their physical, neurological, and intellectual development.
