Asymmetrical growth in a fetus, often referred to as asymmetrical intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), occurs when the fetus does not grow uniformly, typically resulting in a relatively normal head size but a smaller body size. This condition can arise due to various factors, including placental insufficiency, maternal health issues, or environmental factors. It may indicate that the fetus is not receiving adequate nutrients or oxygen, potentially leading to complications during pregnancy and delivery. Monitoring and management are essential to ensure the health of both the mother and the baby.
