By evaluating fetal cerebral circulation using three-dimensional power Doppler vascular indices and studying their relationships with maternal lipid and glycaemic profiles, it was found that gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) may lead to abnormal fetal cerebral blood flow, thus influencing fetal neurodevelopment.
Objectives We aimed to evaluate fetal cerebral circulation using three-dimensional power Doppler (3DPD) vascular indices and to study their relationships with maternal lipid and glycaemic profiles. Methods Case-control study in women with and without gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) at 28-32 weeks in which feto-maternal Doppler study and 3DPD cerebral vascularization indices (FI, VI and VFI) were determined. Maternal lipid and glycaemic profiles were also analysed. Both groups were compared and the correlations of the 3DPD indices with studied variables were analysed. Results There were significant differences between groups in cerebral FI (p= 0.02), mean maternal Uterine artery PI (p= 0.009) and glucose levels (p= 0.001), being higher in the GDM group. Significant negative correlations were found in GDM group between VFI and MCA PI (p = 0.02) and between VI and MCA PI (p= 0.01). In the GDM group we found a negative significant correlation between FI, VI, VFI and maternal glucose (r= -0.52, p<0.001; r= -0.32, p=0.03 and r= -0.36, p= 0.01, respectively). Conclusions Fetal cerebral FI values were higher in GDM pregnancies. All 3DPD vascular indices showed an inverse correlation with maternal glucose levels. These findings support the view that GDM may also represent a fetal vascular disorder influencing fetal neurodevelopment.
