Delayed umbilical cord separation (UCS) in newborns can be linked to urachal remnants (UR), a condition often overlooked. Abdominal ultrasound can help diagnose UR when UCS is delayed and other causes are ruled out.
Area of Science:
- Neonatal care
- Pediatric surgery
- Medical diagnostics
Background:
- Delayed umbilical cord separation (UCS) affects up to 10% of newborns.
- UCS is often investigated for leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) or factor XIII deficiency.
- Urachal remnants (UR) are more common than LAD or factor XIII deficiency but less frequently investigated in cases of delayed UCS.
