The diagnosis of altered fetal growth
Obstet Gynecol Clin North Am.
1988 Jun.
Abstract
The antenatal recognition of altered fetal growth should be an important goal for every obstetrician, because significant neonatal complications can be associated with both ends of the spectrum of altered growth. This article discusses the problems related to altered fetal growth, the difficulty in defining and diagnosing it, and some of the methods available for its antenatal diagnosis.
