title: [New approaches in the treatment of hypotrophic fetuses].
abstract: Hypotrophy or intrauterine growth retardation of the foetus associated with placental insufficiency still remains a serious obstetric problem. In the submitted paper the authors compare hypotrophic foetuses treated in 1989 and 1990 at the authors' clinic by conventional methods only (biometry, bed rest, CTG oestriol, glucose and possibly heparin) with a group of hypotrophic foetuses treated in 1991 and 1992 with magnesium and where the therapeutic effect was followed up by Doppler flowmetry. Based on the results, the demand to improve placental insufficiency by pharmacological induction and stimulation of specific placental enzymes is met perfectly by concomitant parenteral and oral magnesium administration to pregnant women.
