Abstract
Forty-one newborns with a high ratio between head/abdomen were studied by dynamic ultrasound scanning before delivery. For those with the highest ratios, increased mortality and low Apgar scores at 1 min were observed. The ratio may be an indicator of the nutritional supply in relation to the need of the fetus.
