Persistent right umbilical vein--case report and review of literature
Abstract:
Persistence of the proximal portion of the right umbilical vein is described in a premature infant.

The mother had received carbamazepine therapy for epilepsy. Previously reported cases of persistent proximal right umbilical vein have shown a variety of other malformations but a single umbilical artery has been the most consistent.
