“…However, there are many genetic diseases without morphological changes in the fetus, and they therefore cannot be detected directly. Unfortunately, a significant proportion of antenatal patients come to have the possibility of one of these abnormalities excluded [35,36,52]. The most frequent are chromosomal abnormalities like trisoniy.…”

With remarkable improvements in antenatal, intrapartum and the newborn care, the proportion of perinatal problems attributable to congenital abnormalities has significantly increased. The number of deaths due to fetal malformations in some countries now approaches the number due to prematurity and it is justifiable to believe that abnormalities will soon be heading the league of causes of perinatal death. Even with the most advanced treatment teams and resources, many seriously malformed children cannot be habilitated to any reasonable degree. It is therefore obvious that the future of these types of disorders lies ultimately in their prevention. This has long been the hope of obstetricians and in certain abnormalities this can become a reality. With the advent of ultrasound, many structural anomalies cannot be evaluated by direct visualization of the placenta and fetal anatomy. The number of pregnancies monitored available and as public education about genetics increases. Diagnostic ultrasound has proved to be a powerful means of preventing the birth of babies with significant defects. If this has not been achieved in early pregnancy, the knowledge that the fetus is or may be abnormal at the end of pregnancy can still be valuable, since the management of patients before and during labour could be radically altered. Therefore, ultrasound examination should be preferred as the initial test because it is without risk and produces no side effects.

“…However, it was revealed later that the clinical picture of retardation is not a uniform syndrome, taking into account its etiology, clinical picture and prognosis (Bakketeig, 1998, Battaglia and Lubchenco, 1967, Deorari et al, 2001, Doszpod, 2000, Golde, 1989, Gruenwald, 1963, 1966, Henriksen, 1999, Kurjak et al, 1978, Kramer et al, 1990, Lin et al, 1991, Lin, 1998, Rosso & Winick, 1974, Senterre, 1989, Wollmann, 1998. As a basic requirement, one has to be able to differentiate between proportionally and disproportionally retarded newborn babies.…”

“…With the use of ultrasound, investigators have subsequently confirmed that such growth failure may be present from early in the antenatal period (Kurjak et al, 1978;Kurjak and Kirkenen, 1982;Dicke and Crane, 1991). Snijders et al (1993) have reported that in fetuses with growth restriction identified from 17 to 39 weeks' gestation, 19 per cent have chromosome abnormalities.…”
