Abstract
The loss of middle cerebral artery compensatory vasodilatation appears to be ominous in fetuses with absent end-diastolic umbilical waveform s. The authors report a case with a loss of the 'brain-sparing effect' 24 h before fetal death. Current pathophysiological explanations are discussed.
