ABSTRACT
The intra-abdominal umbilical vein varix is very uncommon, characterized
by a dilation of the vein, usually located between its entry into the
abdomen and completion in the portal system. However, the location
of this anomaly to extra-abdominal level is very unusual and more difficult
to diagnose by ultrasound.
Clinical case: We present a case undiagnosed during pregnancy, demonstrating
cord abnormality in its extra-abdominal portion and confirmed
later by the pathology study. It was a gestation of 36 + 6 weeks, ending
by performing emergency caesarean section for abnormal fetal heart rate,
with good perinatal outcome. The diagnosis was made after placental
delivery, by the existence of fibrotic cystic structure in the middle third
of the umbilical cord.
