Abstract
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a failure of fetus to reach its expected biological growth, based on its genetically predetermined potential. Whenever effective fetal weight is less than, 10th percentile or 2 standard deviation of population-specific growth curve, it is considered small for gestational age (SGA). The FGR is associated with poor somatic growth with concomitant changes in placental and cerebral blood flow and/or biochemical markers along with EBW < 3rd percentile. It is an important cause of perinatal mortalities and morbidities. Ultrasound plays a definitive role in diagnosis and its management. This article is aimed to mini review the published guidelines on FGR and SGA and summarize the areas of consensus.
