    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Fetal Medicine
    • Perinatal Health

    Background:

    • Umbilical cord abnormalities can impact fetal well-being.
    • True knots of the umbilical cord are infrequent occurrences.
    • Understanding the etiology of cord knots is crucial for risk assessment.

    Observation:

    • A rare case of a double true knot in the umbilical cord is presented.
    • The clinical presentation and potential risks associated with this anomaly were noted.
    • Detailed examination of the specific case was performed.

    Findings:

    • The occurrence of two true knots in a single umbilical cord is exceptionally rare.
    • Review of existing literature highlights the limited data on cord knot formation.
    • The potential for adverse perinatal outcomes associated with umbilical cord knots is recognized.

    Implications:

    • Further research is recommended to elucidate the precise causes of umbilical cord knots.
    • Improved understanding may lead to enhanced prenatal surveillance strategies.
    • This case underscores the importance of vigilance for rare umbilical cord complications.
