선천성 장 협착증 태아에서의 탯줄 궤양에 의한 태아 사망

Abstract

Congenital intestinal atresia is usually detected on prenatal ultrasound in the late second to third trimester, depicted as proximal bowel dilatation accompanied by polyhydramnios. Since the initial report in 1991 pertaining to the association between umbilical cord ulceration (UCU) and congenital intestinal obstruction, many studies have followed to investigate fetal cord hemorrhage and fetal death associated with congenital intestinal atresia. Nonetheless, UCU has not received much attention from many obstetricians. In light of this, we report a case of intrauterine hemorrhage from an umbilical cord ulcer in a fetus with jejunal atresia that resulted in intrauterine death.
