Abstract

The majority of these circulars are loose and of no consequence to the fetus. However, rare cases can be discovered by unexplained fetal death and prompt the practitioner to establish a causal link.

Methodology: We present here an illustrated clinical case of fetal death associated with a tight double circular of the umbilical cord.

Results: This is a 25-year-old patient with a pregnancy well followed by an obstetrician-gynaecologist with 06 quality prenatal consultations. The clinical and biological monitoring parameters have been well recorded in the antenatal diary and do not show any abnormalities. Emergency obstetric ultrasound did not reveal fetal cardiac activity with a cephalic presentation. The fetal weight was 3270 g, it had a tight double circular from the umbilical cord to the neck on color Doppler. The amniotic fluid was normal.

Her labour went smoothly as normal with the peculiarity of the absence of foetal heart sounds, allowing after 5 hours the spontaneous delivery of a macerated stillborn with a double circular serum around the neck. The stillborn was male; weighing 2500g; Size: 49 cm. The length of the cord was 80 cm. Feto-placental examination revealed skin detachment in places.
