A clinical case of a combination of presentation of umbilical cord vessels and esophageal atresia

Vasa Previa is a pathological condition that may occur during pregnancy when vessels that have a connection with the fetal — placental blood flow pass freely in the extra-placental membranes and are located between the presenting part of the fetus and the cervix. Untimely diagnosis for this rare pathology leads to high perinatal morbidity and mortality. Therefore, making a timeous diagnosis significantly improves the percentage of detectability of the above conditions and help to prevent a catastrophe. A clinical case of presentation of umbilical cord vessels and fetal malformation (esophageal atresia) is presented. Timely diagnosis of combined pathology, operative delivery and provision of neonatal surgical care contributed to a favorable outcome of pregnancy and childbirth.
