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.

Abstract

Göbek kordonunun gerçek düğümü, perinatal yönetimde nadir görülen bir anormalliktir ve obstetrisyenler için çoğunlukla korkulan bir durumdur. Göbek kordonunun gerçek düğümü sıkılaştığında, gebelik haftasından bağımsız olarak fetal dolaşımın engellenmesine, gelişme geriliğine ve hatta intrauterin ölüme dahi yol açabilmektedir. Buna karşılık, göbek kordonunun gerçek düğümü antenatal dönemde herhangi bir belirti vermeyebilir ve bebekler sağlıklı doğabilmektedir. Burada, elektif sezaryen sırasında rastlantısal olarak karşılaşılan göbek kordonunun gerçek düğümü olgusunu literatür ışığında sunmayı amaçladık.
