Overview

Facilitates prenatal cord knot visualization; leaves open whether detection alters perinatal outcomes.

P
Population
A 43-year-old pregnant woman at 35 weeks and 5 days gestation who underwent routine ultrasound examination revealing a true umbilical cord knot.
E

Confirmation of true umbilical cord knotsurrogate

3D-HD-Flow imaging can serve as a useful complementary technique to 2D ultrasound for confirming the prenatal diagnosis of a true umbilical cord knot.

Limitations

  • Usefulness in the management of such pregnancies remains to be determined

Cite This Study

Rodriguez et al. (2012) conducted a case report in True umbilical cord knot (n=1). Three-dimensional high-definition flow imaging (3D-HD-Flow) vs. Two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound was evaluated on Diagnosis and characterization of true umbilical cord knot. Three-dimensional high-definition flow imaging (3D-HD-Flow) successfully confirmed the presence and allowed anatomical and functional characterization of a true umbilical cord knot suspected on 2D ultrasound.
