A study on fetal umbilical, MCA doppler parameters in borderline AFI and oligohydramnios
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
The incidence of oligohydramnios in Indian population is 4-5% and has many causes, the most common being IUGR. The incidence of IUGR varies from region to region and even in the same region, it varies in different sub populations. In India, according to recent UNICEF surveys, the incidence of IUGR is 25-30%. Data for the study was collected from patients attending the department of Radio-diagnosis, referred by Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at our college. The study included 30 antenatal women who were diagnosed as having a fetus with intra uterine growth restriction based on grey scale ultrasound findings and referred for obstetric Doppler Ultrasound. Umbilical artery PI was elevated in 18 patients (60%) and was normal in 12(40%) patients. 63.3% of fetuses (n=19) had evidence of redistribution of blood to the brain as evidenced from the ratio of PI in the MCA and umbilical arteries.
