简要总结
The umbilical cord plays an essential role in intrauterine life. It is the pathway between mother, placenta and fetus during pregnancy and delivery. Complete cord occlusion often leads to fetal demise, while intermittent occlusion has been associated with intrauterine brain damage. Compression and vasospasm in utero are important factors in fetal distress. Nuchal Umbilical Cord can be diagnosed antepartum using ultrasound, but the complications are unpredictable and unpreventable
