Morphometry of Umbilical Cord and Its Relation With Umbilical Arteries- A Foetal Study

Abstract

BACKGROUNDSurvival of the foetus depends upon the state of the umbilical cord and the vascularity that it provides. So naturally umbilical cord morphometry and its variations were assumed to be a significant cause for foetal death.The aim of this study was to study the morphological changes in the umbilical cord and its vasculature seen in dead foetuses.
