Abstract

Anomalies of the umbilical cord are manifold and pose the greatest danger during the development of labor. Sheath attachment of the umbilical cord is one of the common causes of presentation of umbilical cord vessels. Vasa previa (VP) causes diagnostic difficulties, cannot be corrected during pregnancy and does not affect the birth process, but is characterized by a high frequency of perinatal mortality.

The article discusses the clinical case of successful delivery of a pregnant woman with this pathology.
