Prenatal Diagnosis of Anoxic Cerebral Lesions Caused by Profound Fetal Anemia Secondary to Maternal Red Blood Cell Alloimmunization

Abstract

Profound fetal anemia may cause anoxic lesions of the fetal brain that may be diagnosed prenatally. If new onset ventriculomegaly is observed on ultrasonography after in utero transfusion for severe fetal anemia, anoxic lesions could be suspected.
