Fetal Doppler ultrasound is the method of choice to identify alterations that put the fetus at risk;this toolhas revolutionized the traditional conception of Perinatology as it gives the opportunity to understand that thepathophysiological process of the sick fetus presents a hemodynamic deterioration. Objective: To describe theapplicability of fetal Doppler ultrasound in the main extra cardiac anomalies. Methods: Bibliographic review ofscientific articles published in Spanish and English and their corresponding validation under CASPe and PRISMA tools.Results: A bibliographic analysis of 92 citations was carried out under the aforementioned systematic search in whichthe main fetal anomalies were separated under the supradiaphragmatic, infradiaphragmatic and cerebral concept.Conclusion: There are a limited literature regarding Doppler ultrasound evaluation in relation to extra-cardiacanomalies,and among them there are discrepancies in the findings found between various authors.
