Fetal cerebral venous Doppler velocimetry in normal and high‐risk pregnancy

Abstract

Of the fetal cerebral veins studied, the presence of pulsations in the GV seems to be the best predictor of adverse outcome of high-risk pregnancy. Pulsations in the GV are more frequent than in the umbilical vein and might therefore appear earlier during worsening fetal condition, and thus be of potential value for fetal surveillance in high-risk pregnancies.
