Aneurysm of the umbilical vein: case report and review of literature

N Vandevijver et al. Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol. 2000 Mar.

Abstract

We report a case of aneurysm of the umbilical vein, causing fetal death at 41 weeks gestation. We conclude that these aneurysms are a complication of congenital thinning of the vessel wall and want to emphasize that in stillbirths the cause of death may only be revealed by careful placental examination, including the umbilical cord.
