Abstract
A case of true sinusoidal fetal heart rate associated with fetal gastroschisis is presented. No other known etiologic factors associated with a sinuoidal pattern were present. The pathophysiologic mechanism is this cases is unclear, but fetal anomalies may be associated with elevated arginine vasopressin levels leading to the distinctive sinusoidal fetal heart rate response.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
