The advances in Obstetric ultrasonography have allowed early and accurate detection of anomalies in utero. Umbilical cord anomalies may include cysts, vascular anomalies and masses. Cysts detected in first trimester are mostly transient and the children are born normal. If detected in second or third trimester, the risk of fetal anomalies are high, and warrants a chromosomal analysis.

The neonate was born with Edward syndrome. | ||||||
