Dilatation of the fetal intra-abdominal umbilical vein is a rare entity. It is unclear whether prenatally diagnosed umbilical vein dilatation is associated with an increased risk of fetal anomalies or poor perinatal outcome. Umbilical artery waveform notching may be a predictor of cord abnormalities. It seems reasonable following the baby closely after the diagnosis of both conditions.
We present here a new case diagnosed by ultrasonography at 30 weeks of gestation with normal fetal outcome and discuss the clinical features and the management of these rare abnormalities.
胎儿腹腔内脐静脉扩张是一种罕见情况。目前尚不清楚产前诊断的脐静脉扩张是否与胎儿异常风险增加或围产期不良结局相关。脐动脉波形切迹可能是脐带异常的一个预测指标。在诊断出这两种情况后密切观察婴儿似乎是合理的。
我们在此呈现一例在妊娠30周时经超声诊断的新病例，胎儿结局正常，并讨论这些罕见异常的临床特征及处理方法。
