Prenatal Ultrasound Diagnosis of Vasa Previa With Careful Intraoperative Management : A Case Report
Copyright © 2024, Chanu et al..
Vasa previa is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition to the fetus. Timely antenatal diagnosis and delivery by cesarean section (CS) can lead to a favorable outcome. Here, we report a case of recurrent pregnancy loss (G3A2) with vasa previa, which was diagnosed prenatally by ultrasound. She was admitted at her 31st week with bleeding per vaginum (PV) provisionally diagnosed as antepartum hemorrhage (APH) and managed conservatively as placenta previa. Follow-up ultrasonography (USG) revealed vasa previa at 33 weeks. The fetus was delivered by lower segment cesarean section (LSCS) after careful separation of the membranes and avoiding damage to the vessels as there was velamentous insertion of cord with the lower margin of the placenta in the lower segment. The baby was cared for in the neonatal intensive care unit due to prematurity and discharged after six days. This case report highlights the importance of prenatal ultrasound in diagnosing vasa previa and planning an elective cesarean section with caution intraoperatively for the safe delivery of the baby.
