Aberrant umbilical vein.

C P Fliegel, P W Nars

    Pediatric Radiology
    |January 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    A rare umbilical vein variation was found in a premature infant, connecting the umbilical vein directly to the inferior vena cava. This anatomical anomaly requires careful consideration during neonatal procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Vascular Anatomy
    • Pediatric Surgery

    Background:

    • Umbilical vessel catheterization is a common neonatal procedure.
    • Variations in umbilical vessel anatomy are infrequently encountered.
    • Understanding normal and aberrant vascular anatomy is crucial for safe neonatal care.

    Observation:

    • An aberrant umbilical vein was identified in a premature female neonate post-catheterization.
    • The anomaly involved a direct connection between the umbilical vein and the inferior vena cava.
    • This represents a rare anatomical variation of fetal circulation.

    Findings:

    • The study identified a rare congenital anomaly of the umbilical vein.
    • The aberrant vessel formed a direct shunt between the umbilical vein and the inferior vena cava.
    • This finding highlights the importance of pre-procedural assessment of umbilical vessels.

    Implications:

    • Accurate identification of aberrant umbilical vessels is critical for preventing procedural complications.
    • This case underscores the need for awareness of rare vascular variations in neonates.
    • Further research into the embryological origins and clinical significance of such anomalies is warranted.
