Abstract
The umbilical cord is the lifeline of the baby. It helps in performing various functions in utero. Abnormalities of the umbilical cord can compromise the fetus and pose a threat in utero. A true knot of the umbilical cord is one such entity, which is rare and challenging to diagnose in the antenatal period. It can be an incidental nding but sometimes a tight true knot is reported to be associated with a fourfold increased risk of fetal death. Prenatal fetal ultrasound and doppler studies may be helpful in the identication of the true knot.
