Abstract
Fetal seizures together with both abnormal breathing movements and fluctuations in fetal blood pressure and heart rate resulting in increased fetal heart rate variability have been observed in brain-damaged fetal sheep shortly after an asphyxial insult. We report a clinical example of convulsions and increased heart rate variability during terminal fetal hypoxia.
