has revolutionized the traditional conception of Perinatology as it gives the opportunity to understand that the
pathophysiological process of the sick fetus presents a hemodynamic deterioration. Objective: To describe the
applicability of fetal Doppler ultrasound in the main extra cardiac anomalies. Methods: Bibliographic review of
scientific 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 which
the 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-cardiac
anomalies,and among them there are discrepancies in the findings found between various authors.
