Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure, albuminuria and edema. PE is leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The study aimed to assess the fetal middle cerebral artery (MCA) systolic diastolic ratio (S/D ratio) in PE patients. A prospective case-control study performed in Sudan at Omdurman Maternity Hospital, feto-maternal unit. 100 PE patients and 120 healthy pregnant women matched for age, parity, and gestational age (GA) served as controls, all were subjected to routine ultrasound (US) followed by Doppler, the data was discussed and presented in percentage between patients age, GA, Parity, Diastolic, systolic and S/D Ratio. Doppler Analysis and its correlated to fetal outcome were discussed. Then statistically the results were analyzed. Doppler US results, from MCA considered as strong independent predictors in excluding adverse fetal outcome in PE.
