Intrauterine growth restriction, abbreviated IUGR, is a common problem in obstetrics characterized by a small fetus. IUGR often shows up on requisitions for placentas.
Generally, it is subdivided into:
- Symmetric IUGR.
- Associated with placental abnormalities.
- Asymmetric IUGR.
- Not associated with placental abnormalities.
Idiopathic IUGR
Not associated with placental abnormalities.[1]
