Abstract
Vasa previa refers to the state of fetal vasculature running within the membranes covering the cervix and under the presenting region of the fetus without being shielded by the placenta or umbilical cord. Due to its membranous vessels, the risk of compression or rupture could result in fetal demise, exsanguination, or even death. The cause is unknown, although risk factors include placenta previa, velamentous cord insertion, bilobed or succenturiate-lobed placentas, multiple pregnancies, and IVF-related pregnancies. In this article, we'll present a single instance of vasa previa discovered after an ultrasound and physical examination performed on a patient 39 weeks pregnant who came with complaints of bleeding from the birth canal-like signs of labor. Keywords: Vasa Previa, Pregnancy, Velamentous Cord Insertion, Bleeding, Fetal Demise
