Color flow mapping of the middle cerebral artery in 23 hydrocephalic fetuses.
Color flow mapping was performed on 23 fetuses with hydrocephaly. The measurements on the middle cerebral artery posed no problem. We found end-diastolic frequencies in all cases. The pulsatility-indices were raised in only 4 cases. Color Doppler sonography gave no extra information about diagnosis or prognosis.
