Abstract

Perinatal outcomes of nuchal cords are favorable in the majority of cases; however, nuchal cords may sometimes lead to undesirable results. Herein, we present a case of fetal death due to nuchal cord in a post-term (42 weeks and 4 days), singleton pregnancy. Although rarely observed in post-term pregnancies, the existence of multiple nuchal cord entanglements can be fatal for neonates, as was in our case

Özet

Gebeliklerin çoğunda boyuna kordon dolanması bebek açısından olumsuz sonuçlar yaratmasa da, bazen istenilmeyen sonuçlara da neden olabilmektedir. Zaman aşımı olan gebeliklerdeki kordun bebeğin boynunda olması nadir olarak gözlemlenir, ancak çoklu (birden fazla) kordonun boyuna dolanması bizim vakamızda olduğu gibi bebeğin ölümüne neden olabilmektedir. Biz burada 42 hafta 4 günlük bir gebelikte boyna çoklu kordon dolanmasına bağlı olarak gelişen fetal ölüm vakasını sunduk
