Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) Consult Series #52: Diagnosis and Management of Fetal Growth Restriction

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is the final manifestation of a variety of maternal, fetal, and placental conditions. Fetal growth restriction occurs in up to 10% of pregnancies and is second to premature birth as a cause of infant morbidity and mortality. In addition to its significant perinatal impact, FGR also has an impact on long-term health outcomes. Fetal growth restriction remains a complex obstetric problem with disparate published diagnostic criteria, poor detection rates, and limited preventative and treatment options.
