Although elevation of middle cerebral arterial peak systolic velocity (MCAPSV) is known as a sign of fetal anemia, few studies of other clinical values have been reported. The aim of this study is to investigate the benefit of measuring of MCA-PSV in cases of fetal growth restriction (FGR). Method This retrospective study included 248 fetuses who were diagnosed FGR and delivered at our hospital from 2008 to 2016. We defined high MCA-PSV as the value exceeding 1.5 multiple of median (MoM). We compared the perinatal prognosis of high MCA-PSV group and normal MCA-PSV group. Perinatal prognosis
