Journal Title: National Journal of Integrated Research in Medicine - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Lifeline of the fetus in the womb is umbilical cord and is not spared in having anatomical and functional variance. Velamentous insertion of umbilical cord is more common in twins (incidence 8.7%). Increased risk for intra uterine growth retardation, preterm birth, congenital anomalies and fetal bleeding is associated with it. Intrauterine diagnosis can help to improve the fetal prognosis. So we have presented a case of twin pregnancy with one cord have Velamentous insertion and the other has normal; increase of Monochorionic diamniotic placenta. Both baby were still birth.
