Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Umbilical cord abnormalities include short cord, long cord, knots, hyper-coiling, hypo-coiling, stricture, single umbilical artery, supernumerary umbilical vessels, cystic and vascular malformation, and abnormal insertion of cord like velamentous and furcate insertions. We report a case of intrauterine death in a fetus with multiple umbilical cord strictures and vascular thrombosis.
CASE REPORT: A 35-year-old woman delivered a stillborn female fetus at 33 weeks of gestation. No fetal anomaly was detected. Examination of the umbilical cord showed multiple strictures, located 4.5 cm and 20 cm from the placental insertion site. Microscopically, the stricture site showed Wharton's jelly being replaced by fibrosis with presence of vascular thrombosis.
DISCUSSION: Umbilical cord stricture is uncommon and has been described to be associated with intrauterine fetal death and a possibility of recurrent. There is a need to counsel the parents and close fetal surveillance in subsequent pregnancy is advise since the risk of recurrent remains uncertain.
