Abstract
Fetal cephalometry with pulsed ultrasound (A and B scan) has been performed in 35 patients with pre-eclampsia. A classification of fetal growth retardation was based on standard tables for newborn infants. The biparietal diameters were generally small in growth-retarded fetuses, both in relation to fetuses of normal weight in pre-eclamptic mothers, and in relation to the average measurements in a previously compiled group of normal pregnancies.
