Umbilical Cyst with Edward Syndrome
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Neonatal Medicine and Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
ABSTRACT 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. We present a case report where antenatally cord cyst was detected in second trimester, with the fetus progressing to have oligohydramnios and Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). The neonate was born with Edward syndrome.
