Characteristics of each Doppler deterioration pattern might reflect FGR etiology. Undetectable anomalies and umbilical-placental abnormalities were found in fetuses with Doppler deterioration from the ductus venosus. Doppler deterioration from the MCA was observed after 31 weeks of gestation not only in the late-onset FGR but also in the early-onset FGR with normal umbilical artery Doppler findings.
