ABSTRACT

Vasa previa is a rare condition associated with high perinatal mortality. Fetal blood vessels cross over the internal os and they are the result of an insertion cord velamentous. We report a case of fatal acute fetal distress caused by rupture of a vessel in the second period before delivery. We discuss the etiology and clinical management of this condition.
