Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

IUGR is either symmetric or asymmetric. The symmetric form occurs in the first trimester;SGA infants have reduced brain capacity. The asymmetric form occurs in the later stages of pregnancy. Weight is less than the 10th percentile;head circumference is greater than the 10th percentile. Infants with asymmetric IUGR have the potential for normal growth and development..
