Fetal growth restriction (FGR) or intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) are the terms used for a fetus
which has not attained its full growth potential for gestational age. FGR is a multifactorial syndrome
responsible for increased fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality as well as long term adverse
outcomes involving auxological, metabolic, organic and functional domains. Clinicians distinguish
early and late onset FGR, in relation to specific fetal anthropometric parameters related to the possible
primary etiology and to different patterns of placental and maternal cardiovascular pathologies.
Delivery of an early onset FGR or growth impaired newborn with congenital pathology should be in
tertiary care center, given the high perinatal morbidity. At hospital discharge the FGR infant should be
enrolled, in a multidimensional individualized developmental follow-up. Subjects who have suffered
from FGR should adopt a healthy lifestyle
