Abstract
Fetal seizures together with both abnormal breathing movements and fluctuat ions in fetal blood pressure and heart rate resulting in increased fetal he art rate variability have been observed in brain-damaged fetal sheep shortl y after an asphyxial insult. We report a clinical example of convulsions an d increased heart rate variability during terminal fetal hypoxia.
