Abstract

This case describes the prenatal diagnosis at 30 weeks' gestation of a posterior fossa subdural hematoma. Doppler velocimetry studies of the middle cerebral artery at that time showed an abnormally high resistance pattern with reverse end‐diastolic flow. Ultrasonic assessment of the fetus indicated that there was associated quadriplegia. No cause for the lesion was demonstrated. A fetal blood sample, obtained by cordocentesis, revealed a normal karyotype. Fetal blood gas analysis was also normal. The pregnancy was terminated at the parents' request.
