Abstract. Fetal cephalometry with pulsed ultrasound (A and B scan) has been performed in 35 patients with pre‐eclampsia. A classification of fetal growth retardation was based on standard tables for newborn infants. The biparietal diameters were generally small in growth‐retarded fetuses, both in relation to fetuses of normal weight in pre‐eclamptic mothers, and in relation to the average measurements in a previously compiled group of normal pregnancies.
