The normal umbilical cord has three vessels; one vein carries oxygenated blood to the fetus, and two arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the fetus. In 1% to 2% of pregnancies, however, there is only a single umbilical artery (Fig. 44-30). The diagnosis is made either by examining a free loop of cord in the amniotic fluid or by assessing the umbilical arteries around the fetal bladder. Although associated with aneuploidy as well as renal and cardiac abnormalities, in isolation a single umbilical artery has no functional importance.
Insertion into the Placenta
The normal umbilical cord inserts into the central portion of the placenta. Identifying the placental umbili­cal cord insertion is important to recognize abnormalities of the umbilical cord vessels, as with gray-scale imaging and color or power Doppler sonography (Fig. 44-31).

Velamentous and Marginal Cord Insertions
A velamentous umbilical cord insertion refers to the situation where the umbilical cord inserts into the membranes and not the placental disc (Fig. 44-32). A
marginal cord insertion, also known as a battledore placenta, occurs when the umbilical cord inserts into the
very margin of the placenta (Fig. 44-33). Velamentous umbilical cord insertions occur in approximately 1% of singleton pregnancies; marginal cord insertions occur in approximately 7% of singletons. Both these cord inser­tions are more common in multiple gestations and are also associated with single umbilical arteries.

Doppler sonogram shows the umbilical cord inserting into the edge of the placenta (arrow).
The insertion of the umbilical cord into the mem­branes leads to the unsupported coursing of the umbili­cal vessels to the placental disc and many complications. Wharton’s jelly supports and protects the umbilical vessels in the umbilical cord. With the vessels in the membranes, no Wharton’s jelly is present, leading to increased risk of compression or even rupture of these vessels. Intrapartum fetal heart rate patterns show more variable decelerations and no accelerations with vela­mentous cord insertions during the first and second stages of labor compared to controls.
147
Increasing length of the unsupported membrane vessels is associated with increasing rates of abnormal heart rate patterns, as is the umbilical cord insertion being in the lower portion rather than the middle or upper portion of the uterus.
147
Nonreassuring fetal heart rate patterns and emergency cesarean deliveries are more frequent with velamentous cord insertions in the lower third than in the middle or upper third of the uterus.
147
Because velamentous cord insertions are typically located low in the uterus, transvaginal sonography can be critical to making this diagnosis.
Vasa Previa
Vasa previa is the situation where the umbilical cord vessels overlie the internal cervical os (Fig. 44-34; Video 44-6). Because these are fetal vessels, even a small amount of blood loss can lead to fetal death. High-risk situations that require specific exclusion of vasa previa include vela­mentous umbilical cord insertions in which the mem­branous fetal umbilical vessels can traverse the internal cervical os somewhere along their length. Marginal umbilical cord insertions, especially those with aberrant vessels within the membranes, also are associated with vasa previa. more common succenturiate lobes

requires that a

or the
vasa previa be excluded, given the potential for a poor
neonatal outcome. Prior low placenta, placenta previa, multiple gestations, and pregnancies resulting from in vitro fertilization are all associated with vasa previa.
Once a vasa previa is diagnosed, obstetric manage­ment is critical to optimize outcome. Delivery at 35 to 36 weeks’ gestation is recommended to obviate the risks of vessel rupture that can occur with labor or rupture of the membranes. If the patient has preterm labor, rup­tured membranes, or bleeding before 35 weeks, delivery at the earlier gestational age should be considered.
Vasa previa is diagnosed when a fetal vessel is identi­fied overlying the internal cervical os. Although gray­scale ultrasound can identify the vessel, color or power Doppler sonography can assist with visualizing the vessel. Pulsed wave Doppler ultrasound should confirm a fetal artery, by demonstrating the heart rate of the fetus rather than that of the pregnant woman. Three-dimensional sonography may assist with making the diagnosis of a vasa previa,

especially using 3-D power Doppler sonography to map out the aberrant vessels. cian must be careful, however, especially when using color or power Doppler ultrasound, not to equate iden­tification of the umbilical cord in the lower uterine segment or overlying the cervix with a vasa previa. The cord could be free floating in this area, termed a funic presentation, and not a vasa previa (Fig. 44-35). Careful attention to detail, using movement of the probe or follow-up sonography, may be necessary to reach the correct diagnosis.

prolonged third stage may also be caused by retention of a detached placenta from poor contractility or atony of the uterus, sometimes from infection. These abnormali­ties are treated differently, and ultrasound may help dif­ferentiate the various causes of a prolonged third stage of labor and lead to improved patient care.

Retained Products of Conception
Women with suspected retained products of conception (RPOC) typically present with abnormal bleeding. RPOC are most common after second-trimester sponta­neous abortion, extreme preterm birth, medical termina­tion of pregnancy, and unsuspected placenta accreta. RPOC are suggested when an echogenic endometrial mass is visualized within the uterine cavity (Fig. 44-36). This mass may extend into the myometrium

be differentiated from blood clot when flow is demon­strated. However, lack of flow does not exclude RPOC. Care should be taken not to mistake vascularized RPOC for a uterine arteriovenous malformation, because prom­inent flow can be seen in RPOC.
161
Calcifications in the endometrial mass are highly suggestive of RPOC. These calcifications present normal placental maturation that occurred during pregnancy.
CONCLUSION
Multiple abnormalities associated with placental devel­opment and function can be identified by prenatal sonography. Sonographers and sonologists need to understand the basic anatomy and physiology of the placenta so that abnormal findings on prenatal sonogra­phy can be acknowledged, to achieve the best possible outcome for mother and neonate.
