Abstract

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is one of the most common complications seen in pregnancy and is associated with an increased risk for stillbirth, preterm birth, and poor neonatal outcomes. It occurs in over 10% of pregnancies and can have many different etiologies. Unfortunately, the precise etiology of FGR is difficult to diagnose in many cases. Management of FGR relies on serial assessment of placental resistance with umbilical artery Doppler studies and serial assessment of fetal well-being with antenatal testing. In many cases, preterm or early-term delivery is required to avoid stillbirth.
