[Cavernous hemangioma of the umbilical cord].
We report the case of a cavernous hemangioma with a recently developed hematoma of the umbilical cord. Because of a threatening intrauterine asphyxia an operative vaginal delivery was performed followed by pulmonary disturbance of adaptation and anemia with transfusion. Possible complications are discussed both in terms of the case-history and literature.
