Abstract: We report the 2 cases of schizophrenic patients with clozapine treatment and particularly, we underlined a reduced variability and low short-term variability, whereas biophysical ultrasound score, Dopplers and perception of fetal movements were acceptable and comfortable concerning the fetal vitality. Our aim is to show the limits of the analyzed fetal heart rate under clozapine. So, we may change our observation of fetus in chronic suffering that is usually mainly made with an informatics analysis of pregnants under clozapine.<br /> (Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS.
