Fetal umbilical vein thrombosis associated with fetal bartter syndrome: an unusual case report and literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bartter syndrome (BS) is a rare autosomal recessive renal disease. There are relatively few reports on fetal Bartter syndrome, but it has been documented that the condition can increase the incidence of prematurity and hypovolemia. Umbilical vein thrombosis (UVT) is a rare obstetric complication that poses a serious threat to fetal safety, potentially leading to acute fetal distress and even intrauterine fetal death. Consequently, early identification and intervention of UVT are crucial.

Case presentation

We present a case of an emergency cesarean section prompted by ultrasound findings of intrahepatic segment of umbilical vein thrombosis and polyhydramnios. After birth, the newborn was admitted to the Department of Neonatology for observation and further treatmen
