Abstract

Thrombosis of fetal umbilical cord (UC) vessels is a rare event and presumably affects  1/1300 of all fetal necropsies, 1/1000perinatal postmortems, 1/250 fetal autopsies of high risk pregnancies, 1/25 of fetal autopsies with cord abnormalities.. Even though, UC vessel trombosis is a major concern for late fetal distress and intrauterine demise, the casual mechanisms and related effects of thrombosis are not well understood. Umbilical cord thrombosis is not listed among factors associated with fetal death since its direct impact cannot be revealed. Despite a common pathologist-obstetrician intuition about a thrombus in the UC, concurrent maternal and/or fetal conditions prevent its acceptance as an independent factor. A patient with normal gestational follow-up findings presenting with fetal death in utero at 38 weeks’ gestation, whose post-mortem pathologic fetal investigation revealed thrombosis of the umbilical vein will be presented together with the review of literature. 

Keywords

Abstract

Fetal umblikal kord damarlarının trombozu nadir bir durum olup, fetal nekropsilerde 1/1300, perinatal postmortemlerde 1/1000, yüksek riskli gebeliklerin fetal otopsilerinde 1/250 ve kord anomalili fetüslerin otopsilerinde 1/25 oranında rastlanmaktadır. Umblikal kord damar trombozu geç fetal stres ve fetal ölüm açısından endişe nedeni olsa da, tromboz ilişkili etkiler ve olası etki mekanizması tam anlaşılamamıştır. Direkt fetal ölüm ile ilişkisi ortaya çıkarılamadığından dolayı, umblikal kord trombozu fetal ölüm ile ilişkili faktörler listesinde yer almaz. Patolog ve obstetrisyenler arasında umblikal kord trombozu hakkında sezgisel bir fikir varsa da eşlik eden maternal ve fetal durumlar nedeniyle bağımsız bir faktör olarak kabul görmemektedir. Gebeliğin 38.haftasında intrauterin fetal ölüm tespit edilen, gebelik takibinde özellik bulunmayan, fetüsün postmortem patolojik incelemesinde fetal umblikal vende tromboz saptanan olgu nedeniyle ani fetal ölüm ile umblikal kord trombozu arasındaki ilişkiyi literatür eşliğinde sunuldu
