TI  - Doppler Evaluation of Umbilical Arteries for
Fetal DistressAssessment: Discrepant Results Can Be Obtained
from Both Arteries
AB  - Umbilical artery Doppler evaluation is very important in diagnosing intrauterine fetal distress. During a Doppler assessment of umbilical arteries, occasionally one of the arteries shows normal indices while the other exhibits abnormal values at the exam session. Here, we are
presenting a case with one umbilical artery exhibiting normal and the other umbilical artery exhibiting abnormal Doppler indices initially, who
later had a cesarean delivery at 29 weeks of gestation due to abnormal umbilical artery Doppler indices and fetal distress. After delivery, the assessment of the umbilical cord revealed two arteries and one vein; one of the arteries was macroscopically nodular, the other was normal in appearance. Also, a pathological examination of the umbilical cord revealed that the diameter of one umbilical artery was smaller than the other.
We aimed to discuss the divergent results in both umbilical arteries by means of Doppler values and the histological findings.
