Abstract
Vasa praevia occurs when the fetal vessels in the membrane are situated in front of the presenting part of the fetus. Rupture of membranes leads to foetal exsanguination and even neonatal death. The fetal mortality from undiagnosed vasa praevia ranges from 22% to 100%. It is the unexpected manner in which sudden foetal demise occurs that makes this complication one of the most dreaded and challenging events in modern obstetrics. CaseHere we discuss a case of prenatal diagnosis of vasa praevia and outcome. We have also conducted a literature review and highlighted the aspects of management of vasa praevia. ConclusionUltrasonographic prenatal detection of vasa praevia has made a significant impact in the reduction of perinatal mortality and morbidity from this condition.
