Abstract

AbstractFetal growth restriction (FGR) or intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) are the terms used for a fetus which has not attained its full growth potential. FGR fetus is associated with high perinatal and neonatal morbidity and mortality, besides long term neurological handicap because of in utero hypoxia. Three decades of research has indicated that almost all treatment strategies are ineffective in treating FGR. Panorama of management includes identifying women at risk, correct dating, distinguishing between a constitutionally small and a true FGR, monitoring for fetal hypoxia, growth, and a timely intervention to avoid death or damage.
