The growth rate of various organs and parameters was evaluated by ultrasound examination in one group of small‐for‐gestational age (SGA) and another group of large‐for‐gestational age (LGA) fetuses. Three different patterns of growth were selected in the SGA group and two different types of growth acceleration were observed in the LGA group. On the basis of these results, it has been concluded that the type of intra‐uterine growth retardation or acceleration is dependent more on the time at which the insult which brings it on, appears, and less on the specific etiological factor.
