Objective. To study the features of anamnesis, course of gestation and delivery outcomes in women with and without coinciding diagnoses of antenatal fetal growth restriction (FGR) and postnatal intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).
Material and methods. We examined 153 pregnant women with FGR revealed by ultrasound photometry. Hypotrophy was confirmed after birth in 88 newborns and not confirmed in 65 newborns.
Results. Pregnant women with FGR and hypotrophy of newborns had the elevated risk of chromosomal abnormalities, severe preeclampsia in the second trimester, oligohydramnios and hemodynamic disorders in “mother-placenta-fetus” system. In cases of not coinciding diagnoses, pregnant women more often had “great obstetrical syndromes” in anamnesis; in most cases in this group they had prevention of preeclampsia and venous thromboembolism.
Conclusion. Both in cases with and without coinciding diagnoses of FGR and IUGR, the examined patients showed no clinical-anamnestic features, but in coinciding diagnoses the pregnancy was more often characterized by complicated course, pre-mature delivery and disadvantageous prenatal outcome.
Key words: pregnancy, fetal growth restriction, placental insufficiency, preeclampsia.
