| Popis: | A quantitative study has been made of organ and cellular development in 11 infants with fetal growth retardation associated with maternal toxemia of pregnancy. Body length, brain, heart, and lung weights were nearest normal values while adrenals, liver, spleen, and thymus were disproportionately small. Organs were subnormal in size largely because parenchymal cells had a subnormal amount of cytoplasm. Abnormalities were virtually identical in a second group of 11 infants retarded in their intrauterine growth by placental abnormalities. In both groups, organ abnormalities help to explain clinical problems encountered in these infants. |
