title: Color flow mapping of the middle cerebral artery in 23 hydrocephalic fetuses.
abstract: 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.
