Fetal cerebral vascular impedance is abnormal in left congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

CONCLUSION: MCA PI values are significantly lower in L-CDH fetuses as compared to controls and a lower LVCO was correlated with lower MCA vascular impedance. The neurodevelopmental effect of changes in MCA PI in response to decreased LVCO are unknown, although all survivors that underwent testing in this cohort scored in the normal range.
