title: Severe rhesus isoimmunization detected by cardiotocography performed for diminished fetal movements.
abstract: Two cases of rhesus isoimmunization are presented in which the fetus was much more severely affected than anticipated and where a sinusoidal pattern found on cardiotocography, performed because of absent fetal movements, resulted in appropriate and successful management.
