Abstract
The umbilical cord normally contains one vein and two arteries, which is vital for gas exchange, nutrient supply and excretion of metabolic wastes between mother and fetus, and is protected by the surrounding Wharton jelly. Thrombosis of the umbilical cord could lead to fetal hypoxia, even endanger the fetal life. However, umbilical vessel thrombosis, which is rarely reported at home and abroad, is difficult to be identifed prenatally. We here reported two cases of umbilical vessel thrombosis in Xiamen Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital in order to improve prenatal diagnosis of umbilical vessel thrombosis and to avoid adverse pregnancy outcomes. Key words: Umbilical arteries; Umbilical veins; Embolism
