Integration of Fetal Middle Cerebral Arterial (MCA) Ultrasonography in Acute Fetal-Maternal Hemorrhage

Integration of Fetal Middle Cerebral Arterial (MCA) Ultrasonography in Acute Fetal-Maternal Hemorrhage

Here we present a case of maternal-fetal hemorrhage characterized by intermittently reassuring fetal testing. Additional testing performed with ultrasound, including middle cerebral artery (MCA) doppler waveforms, confirmed fetal hemorrhage followed by emergent cesarean section. This report highligh...
