Diagnosis and Management of IUGR

  • Chapter
Intrauterine Growth Restriction

Abstract

As outlined in Ch. 1, IUGR refers to a biological process in which the fetus fails to achieve its genetically programmed growth potential. Factors that interact to produce the clinical scenario of IUGR include the external environment, coexistent maternal disease, and the placental and fetal adaptive responses.
