Middle cerebral artery flow velocity waveforms in normal and small-for-gestational-age fetuses
G Mari, RL Deter - American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 1992 - Elsevier
The middle cerebral artery flow velocity waveforms were obtained in 16 normal fetuses in a
longitudinal study and in 128 normal fetuses in a cross-sectional study with pulsed Doppler
ultrasonography. The pulsatility index values of the middle cerebral artery were higher at 25
to 30 weeks' gestation than those observed during the two periods of major cerebral cellular
multiplication in the human fetus. In 9 of the 16 fetuses studied longitudinally we compared
the pulsatility index values obtained at the end of gestation with those obtained at 1 month …
