Abstract
The umbilical cord is the connection between mother and fetus through which gases and nutrients are exchanged. It's remarkable structure allows for freedom of movement while providing a cushioned, protected conduit from mother to fetus. Fetal development and survival are dependent upon the umbilical cord. This article reviews abnormalities of the umbilical cord that can be seen with structural and chromosomal abnormalities and altered umbilical cord flow associated with fetal growth restriction and poor pregnancy outcomes.
