Prognostic Value of Doppler Ultrasound in Triplets Conceived by In Vitro Fertilization: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Umbilical artery Doppler ultrasound—which informs on maternal-fetal-placental blood flow—may be the most valuable surveillance tool in triplet pregnancies, crucial to diagnose early fetal growth restriction. To illustrate the prognostic value of Doppler ultrasound and launch a discussion of its role...

description Umbilical artery Doppler ultrasound—which informs on maternal-fetal-placental blood flow—may be the most valuable surveillance tool in triplet pregnancies, crucial to diagnose early fetal growth restriction. To illustrate the prognostic value of Doppler ultrasound and launch a discussion of its role in multiple gestational, high-risk pregnancy, we present the case of a 42-year-old woman with trichorionic triamniotic triplet pregnancy conceived by in vitro fertilization, who showed early signs of poor outcome for one of the triplets via umbilical artery Doppler by the 23rd week and middle cerebral artery Doppler by the 29th week of gestation.
