Spinal Cord Injury ll: Pathophysiology

Spinal Cord Injury ll: Pathophysiology

Spinal cord injury progresses through two interconnected phases: primary injury and secondary injury.Primary InjuryPrimary injury happens at the moment of trauma and involves immediate mechanical damage to the spinal cord.Compression happens when broken vertebrae, herniated discs, or accumulating blood (such as a hematoma) press directly against the spinal cord, distorting its normal shape and function. In cases of contusion, the cord is bruised by a blunt force (like penetrating injuries or...

Fetal Circulation

Fetal Circulation

Fetal circulation is a unique system that facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the developing fetus and the mother. This intricate process takes place through a special organ called the placenta.
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...

Summary

Rupture of the umbilical cord in utero is a rare obstetric emergency. This case highlights the importance of continuous fetal monitoring for identifying fetal distress and ensuring prompt intervention.

Area of Science:

Obstetrics and Gynecology
Fetal Monitoring
Neonatal Survival

Background:

Umbilical cord abnormalities pose a diagnostic challenge in obstetrics.
Continuous fetal monitoring is crucial for detecting fetal distress during labor.

Observation:

A case of complete umbilical cord rupture in utero during labor.
The umbilical cord measured 17 cm, was centrally attached, pale, and exhibited no bleeding due to vasospasm.
The newborn, initially pale, had a hemoglobin of 17.4 g and survived.

Findings:

Complete intrauterine umbilical cord rupture is exceedingly rare.
This event necessitates emergent cesarean delivery for fetal salvage.

Implications:
