Antenatal sonographic detection of single umbilical artery.

Abstract:

:The absence of one umbilical artery of single umbilical artery (SUA) is one of the most common congenital malformations in man. This vascular anomaly of the umbilical cord is frequently associated with other congenital malformations as well as some adverse perinatal events such as intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), premature delivery, and increased perinatal mortality. Five cases of SUA detected prenatally by ultrasound are reported here in detail, including the first reported case in a twin gestation. None of the 5 affected infants had associated anomalies, but 2 cases of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and 1 stillborn infant were noted in this series. An umbilical vein/umbilical artery ratio less than 2 was invariably found in all cases, making this observation another useful sonographic characteristic to use in the antenatal detection of SUA. Since the umbilical cord can be easily seen prenatally by ultrasound, and SUA is recognized as an important index for detecting congenital malformations, examination of the umbilical cord for the absence of one umbilical artery is an extremely valuable tool in prenatal diagnosis. The prenatal detection of SUA demands an extensive search for associated anomalies and a close surveillance of fetal well-being, since these fetuses have a high risk of fetal death or IUGR. Sonologists and sonographers should be aware of the possibility of SUA, especially in those cases associated with congenital malformations or IUGR.
