Systematic review of the literature: 49 studies met our selection criteria and reported 88 cases diagnosed antenatally. Fourteen pregnancies were affected by major congenital anomalies.

Volume flow in the middle cerebral arteries decreased in those fetuses exhibiting reversal of adaptation but rose in the nine in which compensatory Doppler indices persisted. The decrease in volume flow occurred before the onset of reversal of adaptation in the pulsatility index. In the fetuses exhibiting reversal of adaptation, the rise in the pulsatility index was consistent over 48 hours compared with the physiological fluctuations in pulsatility index in some fetuses where the rise was only for 24 hours followed by a fall.
