Abstract:
We report a case of a 43-year-old woman, gravida 4, para 3, diagnosed with umbilical cord prolapse for more than three hours.

The infant, a 800-g male, spent 3 months in neonatal intensive care unit. At the ten-month follow-up examination he was neurologically intact, with no long-term complications secondary to the cord prolapse.
