Abstract
ABSTRACT Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a major problem in perinatal medicine. It is the second cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity after prematurity and the two conditions are frequently associated. The principal cause of the poor perinatal outcome is represented by the chronic fetal hypoxemia (FCH) that occurs in 30 to 35% of IUGR fetuses. In order to improve significantly the clinical outcome a timely recognition and a proper management is fundamental. Today the method of choice for monitoring the fetal growth and detect any deviation is represented by serial fetal ulrtasound biometry. After suspicion or recogntion of fetal growth restriction it is necessary to assess the characteristics of the maternal-fetal exchanges in order to detedct or exlude the presence of chronic fetal hypoxemia.
