Fetal Growth Restriction: when the baby stops growing... even at a normal weight.
Dr. Andre Miyague
April 4, 2025
Folks, when we talk about Fetal Growth Restriction, it's very common to only think about that visibly small, thin baby with a lower than expected weight. But the truth is that the case isn't always that obvious.
I had the opportunity to speak about this topic at the 6th Ultrasound Conference of the Brazilian Society of Ultrasound in Paraná – SOPRUS 2025, here in Curitiba. And wow… it was special to be able to share this subject with colleagues, a subject that is increasingly appearing in our daily practice.
Today, I want to share with you some important points from the lecture. Because understanding how fetal growth restriction (FGR) works—especially late-stage FGR—can completely change the outcome of a pregnancy.
