    Abstract:
    The fetal toxicity of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) is now well known. Sartans which are angiotensin II inhibitors, are supposed to have the same side effects on the fetus as ACEI because of their similar mechanism of action. This is supported by experimental and clinical data. Clinical presentation of fetal exposition to sartans varies from transient oligamnios to permanent renal failure, potentially complicated by Potter syndrome. According to previously reported cases, we report a case of transitory fetal oliguria secondary to the exposure to an angiotensin-II-receptor inhibitor (valsartan) between 19 and 21 weeks' gestation. We discuss the management of pregnancies exposed to angiotensin II inhibitors.
