Ductus venosus agenesis
Dr/AHMED ESAWY
Ductus venosus agenesis
Although absence of the ductus arteriosus is very rare
absence of the venosus is occasionally seen. The return of
the umbilical flow is via various vicarious ways
• a suprahepatic connection to the inferior vena cava or
• rarely to the right atrium directly
• an infrahepatic connection to the inferior vena cava
• cutaneous anastomosis with formation of a caput medusa
• left or right iliac connection.

13-umblical cord imaging Dr Ahmed Esawy

  • 2. Dr. Ahmed Esawy MBBS M.Sc MD Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 6. Early coiled umbilical cord. Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 7. • Cord daimeter cross section (outer to outer) • Short cord less than 40 cm • long cord more than 70 cm • Vessel diameter inner to inner up to 4 mm Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 8. I. Abnormal number of vessels single umblical artery two vessels cords four vessels cords Two veins & two arteries One vein & 3 arteries One vein, two arteries and a duct five and more vessels cords Cords with unequal numbers of vessels at the fetal and placental ends Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 9. II-Abnormal course or connection of vessels Velamentous insertion of the cord vasa previa Ductus venosus agenesis Replaced umbilical artery to the superior mesenteric artery Coronary sinus drainage to the umbilical portion of the left portal vein Persistent right umbilical vein Arteriovenous fistula Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 10. III-Abnormal structure or configuration of vessels Hypoplastic umbilical artery Umbilical artery stenosis Thrombosis Segmental thinning of umbilical cord vessels Umbilical cord constriction Nuchal cord loops Type A - nuchal loop that encircles the neck in a freely sliding pattern Type B - nuchal loop that encircles the neck in a locked pattern Other locations are also frequent, such as the abdomen or the lower limbs. Multiple cord loops are also a frequent event. This is a rare case of quintuple nuchal cord entanglement. Some cords seem entangled but they are not, and they are called draped around the neck. Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 11. III-Abnormal structure or configuration of vessels Cord-to-cord entanglement in twin gestations Umbilical vein varix Abnormal cord coiling Non-coiled cords and poorly coiled cords Hyper-coiled cords Abnormal cord length. Short cords ( Defined as total length of 40 cm or less ) Long cords (defined as total length over 70 cm) Abnormal cord width Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 12. UC Position Normally: • anterior to the fetal abdominal wall and adjacent to the limbs. Malposition • Nucal: around fetal neck • Around limbs • Between the fetal presentation part and the lower uterine segment (funic presentation). more common with malpresentations such as breech or transverse lie. • Prolapse Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 13. umbilical cord prolapse . Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 17. Abnormal number of vessels Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 18. Single Umbilical Artery = 2 Vessel Cord • In isolation, not significant risk of aneuploidy • Associated with other anomalies 20-50% of cases • UA anastomosis may normally occur at placental end – • avoid diagnosing 2V cord there • Useful view: 2 UAs at the level of the bladder Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 19. shows all the reported structural anomalies associated with single umbilical artery Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 21. The normal umbilical cord with three vessels Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 24. SIJA, nuchal cord, and omphalocele. Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 25. SUA and multicystic dysplastic kidney. Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 26. one umbilical artery and an umbilical vein within this cord. Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 27. SUA multiple other anomalies, and an allantoic cyst. Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 28. Single umbilical artery (SUA) or 2 vessel umbilical cord: Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 29. Single umbilical artery (SUA) or 2 vessel umbilical cord: Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 30. Normal 3 vessel umbilical cord: Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 31. One vein & 3 arteries Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 32. One vein, two arteries and a duct While an allantoic (2/3) or omphalomesenteric (1/3) duct remnant is not a true vessel Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 34. Artifacts Occasionally the incidence of the ultrasound beam gives exquisite view of the vessels walls and gives the impression of extra vessels. Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 35. Abnormal cord insertion Velamentous insertion of the cord vasa previa Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 36. Vasa Previa • Submembranous fetal vessels cross cervical os • Doppler shows fixed fetal vessels overlying cx os • From succenturiate lobe: most common etiology • Best imagine tool: TVS + color Doppler • D/D – Marginal sinus previa – Cord presentation – Uterine vessel near cervix Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 40. Velamentous insertion of the cord Associated anomalies : • Esophageal atresia. • Obstructive uropathies. • Congenital hip dislocation. • Asymmetrical head shape. • Spina bifida. • Ventricular septal defects. • Single umbilical artery. • Bilobate placenta. • Trisomy 21. Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 43. Be aware that flash artifacts resulting from fluid motion from the fetus may mimic the presence of vasa previa Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 45. II-Abnormal course or connection of vessels Ductus venosus agenesis Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 46. Ductus venosus agenesis Although absence of the ductus arteriosus is very rare absence of the venosus is occasionally seen. The return of the umbilical flow is via various vicarious ways • a suprahepatic connection to the inferior vena cava or • rarely to the right atrium directly • an infrahepatic connection to the inferior vena cava • cutaneous anastomosis with formation of a caput medusa • left or right iliac connection. Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 48. 3 ductal agenesis, with the umbilical vein joining directly to the inferior vena cava Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 49. type 6 ductal agenesis, with the umbilical vein joining directly into the right atrium Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 50. Persistent right umbilical vein Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 51. Replaced umbilical artery to the superior mesenteric artery Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 52. III-Abnormal structure or configuration of vessels Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 53. Hypoplastic umbilical artery Placental pathology . Polyhydramnios. Congenital heart disease. Fetal growth restriction. Stillbirth. Trisomies Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 54. Segmental thinning of umbilical cord vessels Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 55. Umbilical cord constriction Amniotic bands. Nuchal loops. True knots . Fetal grasping Entanglement in monoamniotic twins Cord presentation and occult prolapse Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 56. Umbilical Cord Aneurysm (UCA) • UV varix (UV > 9mm) • UA aneurysm Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 59. Umbilical Cord Aneurysm (UCA) • Careful research for other anomalies • UV varix may be first manifestation of  vein pressure • Monitor impending hydrops • Monitor for anemia • Use color Doppler for checking • D/D – Normal fluid-filled structures – Abdominal cysts (choledochal cyst, meconium pseudocyst, ovarian cyst, urachal cyst) – UC cysts Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 62. Umbilical Vein Varix • Normal Umbilical Vein • 3mm at 15wks  8mm at term • Varix usually incidental finding • In isolation, prognosis is good • If large: • follow-up is suggested • look for intraluminal thrombus formation Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 65. Focal varices of the umbilical cord simulating a knot (false knot). Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 66. Umbilical Vein Varix (small) Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 67. intra-abdominal umbilical vein varix Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 68. Fetal intra-abdominal umbilical vein varix Dr/AHMED ESAWY
  • 71. Normal coiling of the umbilical cord Dr/AHMED ESAWY
