Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital - Obstetrics and Gynecology, Osogbo, Osun, Nigeria.
Objective: To evaluate the resistive indices (RIs) of the fetal umbilical and middle cerebral arteries, as well as to determine the cerebroplacental ratio (CPR), in fetuses of women with hypertension.
Materials And Methods: This was a comparative cross-sectional study involving 75 pregnant women with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and 75 apparently healthy pregnant women (control group), all of whom were submitted to Doppler ultrasound examination of the fetal middle cerebral and umbilical arteries between 20 and 40 weeks of gestation. The two groups were compared in terms of the RI of the middle cerebral and umbilical arteries, as well as the CPR.
