English Abstract
Journal Article
[Spontaneous umbilical cord hematoma].
Harefuah 2005 April
BACKGROUND: Spontaneous umbilical cord hematoma is rare and might be associated with fetal death.
CASE: An emergency cesarean section was performed on a woman during the 41st week of gestation due to fetal distress. A stretched umbilical cord with hematoma was evident. The infant had tachypnea without any other physical or neurological damage. We speculate that traction of the cord led to a tear of an umbilical vessel, cord hematoma, compression of cord vessels and fetal compromise.
CONCLUSION: In case of early prenatal diagnosis of spontaneous umbilical hematoma accompanied with signs of fetal distress, labor should be considered.
