Possible Causes for Intrauterine Growth Retardation

Fetal Hypoxia

Abstract Failing intrauterine support to the fetus can lead to intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and hypoxia and it is associated with a high risk of perinatal morbidity [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hypoxia is a potent stimulus for endothelial dysfunction and, during pregnancy, it promotes intrauterine growth retardation. [trophoblast.cam.ac.uk]

Condition Description Bloom syndrome should be considered in the following individuals: An individual with unexplained, severe intrauterine growth retardation that persists [egl-eurofins.com]

The major criteria for RSS are: intrauterine growth retardation/ small stature at birth (below the 10th percentile) after-birth growth below average for length or height [healthline.com]
