    Abstract

    Late-onset fetal growth restriction (FGR) is still a diagnostic challenge. Current criteria are based on ultrasonography in which biometric measurements and Doppler flows are used. Differentiation between the constitutional low birth weight and FGR is still being explored. Diagnostic methods that clearly indicate a group of fetuses with FGR may prove to be key in developing algorithms.
