Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Fetal Medicine
  • Neonatology

Context:

  • Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) poses significant risks to fetal well-being and perinatal outcomes.
  • Effective management requires a multidisciplinary approach integrating clinical, genetic, and imaging techniques.

Purpose:

  • To define the optimal obstetric approach for managing pregnancy and delivery in cases of IUGR.
  • To compare various diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for IUGR.

Summary:

  • Diagnosis relies on clinical examination, fetal karyotyping (chorionic villi sampling, amniocentesis, cordocentesis, placenta biopsy), and ultrasonography to differentiate early and late IUGR.
  • Color Doppler assesses feto-placental circulation. Post-26 weeks, cardiotocography monitors fetal well-being. Maternal condition improvement involves lifestyle changes; hyperoxygenation lacks consensus.

  • Therapeutic options include abdominal decompression, amniotic fluid infusion, and aspirin. Delivery is timed for fetal maturity to minimize risks.

    • Impact:

    • Provides a comprehensive guide for obstetricians managing IUGR, aiming to reduce perinatal morbidity and mortality.
    • Highlights the importance of timely diagnosis, appropriate antepartum therapy, and planned delivery for optimizing fetal outcomes.
