Ultrasonic features of preeclampsia.
Preeclampsia, the hypertension of pregnancy, is a high-risk obstetric situation that can be monitored ultrasonically. Ultrasonic features commonly associated with preeclampsia, including decreased total intrauterine volume (TIUV), oligohydramnios, and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), are presented and their possible prognostic implications discussed.
