Is there an association between isolated sonographic abdominal circumference below the 10th percentile and placental vascular lesions?

Abstract

The most commonly adopted definitions for fetal growth restriction (FGR) are based on sonographic estimated fetal weight below the 10th, 5th, or 3rd percentile for gestational age. Other alternative criteria for the definition of FGR include prenatal diagnosis of abdominal circumference below the 10th, 5th, or 3rd percentile. 1 Notably, there are several studies with conflicting results aiming to determine, in a low-risk population, which of the ultrasound parameters would be the better parameter in predicting neonates with FGR,
