Objective To investigate whether pathological changes in the umbilical artery (UA), ductus venosus (DV) and short-term fetal heart variation are related to perinatal outcome in severe, early intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Methods 11.3; and GA (OR 0.4;, at 2-7 days by DV PIV at 2 SD (OR 3.0; and GA (OR 0.5; and at 8-14 days by DV PIV at 2 SD (OR 3.9; and GA (OR 0.5;

ZIKV infection during pregnancy is associated with a significant risk of fetal CNS involvement and intrauterine fetal death, particularly when infection occurs during the first or second trimesters. Microcephaly was not present in every case of congenital ZIKV syndrome that we observed. Until more is known about this disease, it is paramount to evaluate suspected cases by detailed neurosonography on a monthly basis, paying particular attention to the corpus callosum and the presence of hyperechogenic foci.
