Transient fetal cerebral dysfunction after road traffic accident. A case report
1Department of Obstetrics, Ostersund County Hospital, Sweden.
We present a case at 30 weeks gestation with transient abnormal fetal cerebral function after a road traffic accident, with loss of fetal movements and abnormal FHR tracings for almost 1 week. The pregnancy had after this incident a normal course and a healthy baby boy was born at term. We suggest the mechanism to be related to fetal hypoxia after excessive maternal psychological stress.
