AB  - SUMMARY: We report 2 fetal MR imaging cases at 22 wkGA with cerebral bright DWI and low ADC, 8 and 19 days after documented fetal death. These observations illustrate that decreased diffusion can be present weeks after injury onset, and its presence cannot be used to time injury onset within 1 week, which could significantly impact determination of the proximate cause of fetal brain injury in future cases.
