  Fetal Growth Restriction and Intrauterine Growth Restriction - New Treatments, May 2, 2006
Fetal growth restriction used to be known in the non-politically correct world as intrauterine fetal growth retardation.
Fetal growth restriction is a risk factor for perinatal morbidity and mortality and fetal growth restriction is observed in twenty-five percent of all stillbirths.
The goal of diagnosis and management of fetal growth restriction is really to differentiate between the normal small, abnormal small and dysmature fetus and the attempt to reduce the perinatal morbidity and mortality in the dysmature fetus.

Antonio Gasbarrini and colleagues from Gemelli Hospital, Catholic University, in Rome, studied 44 patients with a history of spontaneous abortion, 39 patients with fetuses with intrauterine growth retardation and 50 healthy controls.
"The patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion and those with intrauterine fetal growth retardation had a significantly higher frequency of serological markers of coeliac disease than controls," Dr. Gasbarrini and colleagues report in the July 29th issue of The Lancet.
They believe that recognizing celiac disease as a possible risk factor for recurrent spontaneous abortion and intrauterine fetal growth retardation might lead to effective treatment strategies.
