Abstract

Umbilical cord rupture is a rare condition, associated with a high risk of fetal neurological complications and death. Complications are usually acute conditions, occur during antenatal or intranatal period and require urgent delivery for fetal death prevention. Three cases of antenatal ultrasound detection of umbilical cord rupture were presented. The histological changes of umbilical cord (linear rupture, vessel wall inflammatory changes) were found in all cases that confirmed the results of the preoperative ultrasound examination and the presence of concomitant intrauterine infection. After analysis of own data and literature review the criteria for an umbilical cord rupture suspicion were identified.
