Fetus with a normal growth Fetus with a growth restriction Macrosomic fetus (large) None of the above Assuming you can order tests to confirm the diagnosis, which would you ask? Fetal abdominal circumference (ultrasound) Maternal abdominal circumference Biparietal diameter (ultrasound) None of the above What diagnosis would you suggest and what would you do if the measurement

If you decided to continue with special tests to determine the What other assessment would you order? Measurement of fetal head circumference or Femur length Growth rate curves according to previous value Measurement of mother s height Measurement of estriol levels If you chose the fetal head circumference and femur length, the decision was correct. Otherwise, you should read the diagnostic algorithm to differentiate

Check the right answer You would hurry to ask for a test to estimate gestational age You would not worry until the last trimester because it is then that it is important to know it If you answered that you would wait until the last trimester, see the diagnostic

33 30 Monitoring Fetal Growth DIAGNOSIS OF IUGR WHEN THE GESTATIONAL AGE IS EITHER UNRELIABLE OR UNKNOWN IN PREGNANT WOMEN CAPTURED LATE FOR CONTROL you should use growth indicators that do not depend on gestational age.

If the expected increase is normal, the diagnosis is that of a fetus with normal growth. If, however, the increase is less than expected, we are facing a growth restriction, Sensitivity for the diagnosis of intrauterine growth restriction in case of uncertain gestational age and late recruitment

37 34 Monitoring Fetal Growth What diagnoses would you suggest? Fetus with a normal growth Macrosomic fetus (large) None of the above Small fetus for < age or IUGR How would you solve this problem? I would estimate gestational age asking about the date of onset of the first fetal movements I would only estimate gestational age by ultrasound I would assess fetal growth with indicators independent from gestational age I would wait without doing anything If you answered fetal growth assessment with independent indicators of gestational age, you are on the right path, and you may continue

38 Monitoring Fetal Growth 35 If the FAC/FL ratio was 4.25, What would be your probable diagnosis? Asymmetric IUGR or fetus with a normal growth IUGR no matter what type Symmetric IUGR or fetus with a normal growth Certainty of fetus with a normal growth Low fetal AC Asymmetric IUGR = = < 4.25 Normal fetal femur length 260 mm Example = = mm Fetus with Normal fetal AC normal = growth Normal fetal femur length = > 4.25 Example = = mm 66 mm

IUGR = = > 4.25 Low fetal femur length 260 mm Example = = mm What test would you order to establish the differential diagnosis between a fetus with a normal growth and an asymmetric IUGR, two situations that require a radically different management? Measure the FAC/FL ratio Measure the increase of the FAC based on its previous value Measure the BPD Measure the Head Circumference - you have understood the pathophysiology of fetal growth correctly. Otherwise, value:
