Reverse end-diastolic uterine artery velocity in a pregnant woman complicated by mild preeclampsia and severe growth retardation.
In a pregnant woman with mild preeclampsia and severe intrauterine growth retardation, a reverse end-diastolic flow velocity was detected in both uterine arteries by colour Doppler ultrasound at 30 weeks 4 days of pregnancy. During follow up, both umbilical and internal iliac arteries also showed reverse end-diastolic velocity waveforms and the fetus died in utero at 33 weeks gestation.
