Abstract

IUGR is pathologic inhibition of intrauterine fetal growth. Risk factors for IUGR comprise maternal factors, fetal factors, adnexal factors & Placental or umbilical cord factors. For predicting IUGR a combined approach using clinical data, serum markers, biophysical parameters has higher predictive value.
