Every true umbilical cord knot may not require emergency delivery

Abstract

A true knot of the umbilical cord is a rare abnormality and most feared condition in perinatal management for obstetricians. When the true knot of the umbilical cord becomes tight, it can lead to the obstruction of the fetal circulation, development retardation, and even intrauterine death regardless of gestational week. In contrast, the true knot of the umbilical cord may not show any symptoms in the antenatal period and babies can be born in good health. Herein, we aimed to present a case of a true knot of the umbilical cord that coincidentally encountered during elective cesarean section in the light of the literature.
