HypErcoiling, stricturE, and tHrombosis of tHE umbilical cord and fEtal dEatH

umbilical cord abnormalities are numerous, ranging from false knots, which have no clinical significance, to changes that often lead to fetal death. As prenatal ultrasound becomes increasingly sophisticated, many of these conditions are now diagnosed in uterus. We describe the case of a patient that progressed from a low-risk pre-natal condition, with a complaint of sudden cessation of fetal movement, to a diagnosis of fetal death.
