Ultrasound diagnosis of intrauterine growth retardation.
Intrauterine growth retardation is associated with increased perinatal morbidity and mortality. Assuming an accurately dated pregnancy, ultrasonic estimations of fetal weight can be used to predict intrauterine growth retardation. Antenatal detection of this condition will have an impact on management and ideally may improve outcome.
