Abstract

Vasa previa is a condition in which the intramembranous fetal blood vessels cross the internal os. Fetal mortality is high because of the hemorrhage that occurs when these vessels are torn during labor, delivery or when the amniofetal membranes rupture. Reduction in perinatal mortality from this condition depends on its prenatal diagnosis. А first case of color Doppler endovaginal prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of vasa previa in Russia is presented.
