title: [Condition at birth of a group of neonates suffering from intrauterine growth retardation].
abstract: The authors monitored a group of pregnant patients who presented fetuses with intrauterine retarded growth syndrome. Only pregnant women who were monitored until the time of birth were included in the study. Patients were divided into three groups depending on the week of gestation in which birth occurred and two subgroups were identified within each group depending on the type of birth. Three perinatal deaths (5%) were recorded in the group of patients at risk, a percentage that is comparable to data reported in the literature, in spite of careful monitoring (flow metric and cardiographic). Cesarian section was resorted to in 86.4% of cases and 67.7% of neonates presented decisively "poor" conditions at birth.
