Özet

In this manuscript, a fused umbilical artery found in a case of diamniotic-dichorionic twin pregnancy is reported. One of the twins was found to be deceased in utero. The living fetus have not had any perinatal complication. The postpartum examination of the umbilical cord revealed a fused umbilical artery in the proximal part of the cord. The antenatal sonographic evaluation of the umbilical cord is important in perinatal follow-up. The anomaly of fused umbilical arteries are frequently encountered in the proximal part of the umbilical arteries. For this reason, multiple cross sectional examinations must be performed during the sonographic evaluation of the cord.
