Clinical Report: Prenatal Identification and Perinatal Outcomes of Umbilical Cord Hemangioma

Background

Umbilical cord hemangioma is a rare benign vascular tumor that can lead to significant perinatal complications. Understanding its prenatal imaging characteristics and management strategies is crucial for optimizing outcomes.

Data Highlights

No numerical data or trial data presented in the article.

Key Findings

  • Two cases of umbilical cord hemangioma were diagnosed prenatally by ultrasonography.
  • Ultrasound findings included fusiform enlargement of the umbilical cord with mixed echogenicity and hyperechoic nodules.
  • Advanced Doppler imaging revealed branching intralesional vascular channels.
  • Intrauterine fetal demise occurred in one case at 36 weeks, likely due to vascular compression.
  • The second case involved right umbilical artery thrombosis, with a live infant delivered at 33 weeks.
  • Conventional Doppler parameters may not fully reflect evolving hemodynamic compromise.

Clinical Implications

Clinicians should be aware that conventional Doppler indices may not provide a complete picture of fetal well-being.
