Goal of this study is to consider the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in fetuses by velocimetry abnormalities. The author select 64 pregnancies by velocimetry abnormalities of umbilical artery diastolic flow (ARED: Absent or Reverse end Diastolic Flow). The fetal cariotype from amniociti or from umbilical blood at delivery moment is resulted abnormal in 5 cases. Fetal-maternal risk factors of chromosomopaties are: malformations; fetal growth retardation; maternal age > or = 35. Other studies and other results are necessary for this discussion.
