Objective We tested the hypothesis whether small-for-gestational-age (SGA) fetuses have
different brain stem and cerebellar morphometry when compared with appropriate-for-
gestational-age (AGA) fetuses and whether the differences in these structures were
associated with their neonatal neurobehavior. Study Design Magnetic resonance imaging
was performed on 51 SGA fetuses and 47 AGA fetuses at 37 weeks' gestation. Pontine
width, medullar width, vermian width and height, cerebellar primary fissure's depth, and …
