✦ Synopsis
The high prevalence of intrauterine growth retardation in babies of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is thought to be a result of markedly reduced utero-placental blood flow.' The measurement of blood flow in the utero-placental bed by Doppler ultrasound represents a new and important modality by which inadequate perfusion of the intervillous space may be diagnosed.'
This report describes the results of three weekly measurements of utero-placental blood flow velocity forms (FVW), performed between 32 and 38 weeks of pregnancy in patient with active SLE.
