title: The use of color Doppler imaging for prenatal diagnosis of umbilical cord anomalies: report of three cases.
abstract: Color Doppler imaging could easily and rapidly detect the absence of an umbilical artery, despite the presence of oligohydramnios in one case and multiple cord loops involving a normal cord in the other case. In the third case, which on gray-scale imaging appeared as an indeterminate cystic structure of the cord, color Doppler imaging demonstrated a complex abnormal vascular pattern suggestive of an angiomyxoma.
