Fetal reversed end-diastolic flow of the middle cerebral artery is a rare ultrasound finding associated with pathological fetal conditions. Herein, we report the case of a fetus presenting with reversed end-diastolic flow of the middle cerebral artery caused by extensive intracranial hemorrhage from maternal warfarin therapy. From a literature review, we present the clinical findings, etiologies, and outcomes of cases with fetal reversed end-diastolic flow of the middle cerebral artery.
