%X Velamentous insertion of the umbilical cord corresponds to the insertion
of the cord directly on amniotic membranes. It is a rare situation whose
frequency varies from 0.5% to 1.69% of single pregnancies. It must be diagnosed
during the morphological ultrasound of the 2nd trimester, actively looking for
the association with a vasa previa, due to the risk of fetal haemorrhagic
threat. We report an antenatal diagnosis of velamentous cord insertion and its
management with literature review.
