| Popis: | Spontaneous hematoma of the umbilical cord due to rupture of an umbilical cord vessel is a rare obstetrical complication which represents a severe cause of fetal distress with a 50% of reported fetal demise. Although several risk factors have been suggested, the cause of this disorder remains unknown. Herein we describe two cases of term deliveries with spontaneous umbilical cord hematomas which resulted in live births. In both cases the diagnosis was made intrapartum and was confirmed by a histopathologic examination. |
