Umbilical Intra-Abdominal Vein Varix: A Case Report

Emre Ekmekci

Abstract


Fetal ıntra-abdominal umbilical vein (FIUV) varix is a rare and significant clinical situation that requires postnatal monitoring and highlighted by dilatation of the intrahepatic or additional hepatic portion of the intra abdominal section of the umbilical vein. In this case, we presented the fetal intra-abdominal extrahepatic umbilical vein varix at 35 weeks pregnant. There was no other accompanying anomaly and the patient was delivered vaginally of a normal appearing infant with no interventions.
