Rezumat: Important progress has recently been made in the understanding,
diagnosis and treatment of intrauterine fetal
growth restriction (IUGR). In 2016, a consensus on the
definition of IUGR was reached. Early IUGR (IUGR before
32 weeks of gestation) is a relatively rare but severe condition.
The diagnosis of early IUGR is straightforward,
but the therapeutic results are negatively influenced
by severe prematurity. The prevalence of late IUGR
(IUGR after 32 weeks of gestation) is not clearly known.
The therapeutic results are good in the diagnosed
cases of late IUGR, but the diagnosis of the condition
in the general pregnant population is difficult. Cuvinte cheie: fetal growth restriction, placenta, Doppler.
