Doppler fetal y desprendimiento prematuro de placenta

We report a pregnancy with a small for gestational age fetus at 34 weeks plus abruptio placentae. The results of Doppler study in the umbilical and middle cerebral artery were normal. We stress that even when the results of Doppler examination are normal, abruptio placentae still poses a risk of fetal anoxia. We suggest that when abruptio placentae is suspected, all tests of fetal well-being, as well as Doppler examination, should be taken into account in order to make an appropriate clinical decision. The interest of this case lies in the scarcity of descriptions of fetal Doppler changes in pregnancies with abruptio placentae. In our opinion, Doppler examination is of no value in decision making in pregnancies with abruptio placentae.
