Foetal death due to extensive extra-abdominal umbilical vein Varix with umbilical vein thrombosis: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Foetal anaemia and umbilical vein thrombosis are rare pregnancy complications that can increase the risk of perinatal adverse events, which, in severe cases, can lead to foetal death. During pregnancy, umbilical vein varix (UVV) commonly occurs in the intra-abdominal part of the umbilical vein and is associated with an increased risk of foetal anaemia and umbilical vein thrombosis. However, UVV occurring in the extra-abdominal part of the umbilical vein is rare, especially when accompanied by thrombosis. In this case report, we describe a rare case of an extensive extra-abdominal umbilical vein varix (EAUVV), which ultimately resulted in foetal death due to umbilical vein thrombosis.
