It is unclear whether prenatally diagnosed umbilical vein dilatation is associated with an increased risk of fetal anomalies or poor perinatal outcome. Umbilical artery waveform notching may be a predictor of cord abnormalities. It seems reasonable following the baby closely after the diagnosis of both conditions. Case report and discussion: We present here a new case diagnosed by ultrasonography at 30 weeks of gestation with normal fetal outcome and discuss the clinical features and the management of these rare abnormalities. © Springer-Verlag 2004.EnglishAbnormalitiesAdultDilatation, PathologicFemaleHumansInfant, NewbornPregnancyPregnancy OutcomeUltrasonography, PrenatalUmbilical ArteriesUmbilical Veinsarticlecase reportclinical featurecongenital blood vessel malformationdisease courseechographyfemalefetusfetus outcomefollow uphumanprenatal diagnosisumbilical arteryumbilical veinvein dilatationArticle10.1007/s00404-004-0608-z
