title: Antenatal assessment of intrauterine growth retardation.
abstract: Intrauterine growth retardation is associated with considerable fetal mortality and morbidity. The condition often appears unexpectedly and the various clinical and ultrasound strategies used to screen for it in pregnancy have given disappointing results. Once intrauterine growth retardation is suspected, methods to evaluate the fetus are generally satisfactory provided they are applied systematically.
