Abstract
Intra uterine growth restriction (IUGR) results in a wide spectrum of
complications including perinatal death and prematurity as well as short and long
term sequelae. Correct identification of IUGR is crucial as appropriate management
can result in a better outcome. Diagnosis of IUGR often depends on a combination of
tests including accurate early pregnancy dating, serial ultrasound examinations and
Doppler velocimetry studies. The ultimate goal is to distinguish between IUGR and
small for gestational age fetus (SGA) to avoid over treatment & to detect the IUGR
fetus at risk early by monitoring the morphometric changes (diameter & area) of the
umbilical cord .
