Abstract
Persistent fetal bradycardia necessiating emergency cesarean section is uncommon but a serious complication of ultrasound-guided cordocentesis. The cause of this complication, however, is not completely known. Reported here is a case of tetanic uterine contraction after fetal blood sampling via cordocentesis.
