Fetal Head Growth and Head Circumference at Birth in Children of Women with Psychotic Disorders and Population-Based Controls
This study showed decreased fetal head growth during the third trimester and lower birthweight in children of women with psychotic disorders. Together, these findings highlight potential relevance of altered fetal head growth for later neurodevelopmental outcomes and provide directions for possible underlying mechanisms of risk transmission in psychosis.
