Abstract
|
|
|
Velamentous insertion of umblical cord (VCI) is associated with increased rate of abnormal FHR tracing and
emergency cesarean section. Vasa previa and rupture of VCI is rare complication of pregnancy associated with a high
fetal morbidity and mortality. It is recommended attempting to visualize cord insertion as s routine part of obstetric
sonography in the mid-trimester, since the identification of velamentous cord insertion could help to determine the
mode and timing of delivery and improve fetal outcome.
We recently experienced a case of prenatal diagnosis of VCI by routine sonography. So we report this case with
the review of the literature.
