Intrauterine Growth Restriction Associated with Excessively Long Umbilical Cord

Intrauterine Growth Restriction Associated with Excessively Long Umbilical Cord

We present a 37-week female baby, known with intrauterine growth restriction since 25 weeks of pregnancy, born with a placenta with an excessive long umbilical cord (ELUC), without any other abnormalities. ELUC is mostly an incidental finding after delivery, but represents a potentially detectable intrauterine cause of growth restriction. A system that allows ultrasound measurement of the lengt...

Maternal factors associated with intrauterine growth restriction.
