Abstract
Many structural abnormalities of the umbilical cord can be identified with the aid of ultrasonography in the antenatal period. The umbilical cord contains two arteries and one vein surrounded by a gelatinous stroma (i.e., Wharton's jelly) and covered by a single layer of amnion. Umbilical cord, allows for the transfer of oxygen and nutrients from the maternal circulation into fetal circulation while simultaneously removing waste products. Haemangiomas are common benign neoplasms arising from endothelial cells which typically takes place in the skin and soft tissues. Umbilical cord hemangiomas consist of an angiomatous nodule containing and encompassed by edema and myxomatous degeneration of Wharton's jelly, often cystic. Prenatal sonographic differentiation between cord hemangioma and hematoma can be difficult but is possible, Doppler can allow visualization of the vascular architecture within a hemangioma, while a hematoma does not have internal blood flow. We report a case of, a 20 yr old Primigravida with 37 weeks 5 days pregnancy with intra uterine fetal demise with umbilical cord haemangioma.
