Neurodevelopmental Delay in Intrauterine Growth Restriction
Amal Abd EI-Hameed Abd El-Tawab;
Abstract
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) describes a decrease in f'etal growth rate that prevents an infant from
obtaining his or her complete growth potential. A fetus with IUGR may be born small for gestational age (SGA) or appropriate for gestational age (AGA) according to population reference charts.
IUGR complicates 5% to 8% of all pregnancies. Some studies identify a greater percentage (up to 15% of pregnancies). The perinatal mortality rate is 5-20 times higher for growth retarded fetuses, and serious short or long term morbidity is noted in half of the affected surviving infants.
