Abstract

A retrospective, and descriptive study of 154 mothers who had children with Intrauterine Growth Retardation (IUGR) at birth. The study was conducted at the America Arias Gynaecology and Obstetric Teaching Hospital in 2002, It was aimed at identifying the mortality and morbidity in our cases. The continual delivery registries, as well as the medical history of mothers and neonates, were reviewed. Results The IURG most frequently found was moderate, and at the end of pregnancy, a only half o these cases were diagnosed before birth. The highest percent of these births were by caesarean section, and the Apgar was normal. It was concluded that the most important aspect in the management of IUGR is its early diagnosis.
