We present a case of a patient diagnosed with severe intrauterine growth restriction and periconceptional severe anemia, where the fetal well‐being features, including reversal of umbilical artery end‐diastolic flow and abnormal cerebroplacental ratio, remained stationary for 12 weeks. We are not aware of reports with similar findings, and the professionals should take into consideration the possibility of a “frozen” fetal well‐being for a long time. Possibly, in our case, the evolution may be due to the prompt correction of the chronic severe maternal anemia. This approach may offer the opportunity to prolong the pregnancy, even in cases with apparently imminent delivery, as the association of reversal of umbilical artery end‐diastolic flow.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
