Abstract

Here we report a case of a neonate with four-vessel umbilical cord containing three arteries and one vein associated with multiple congenital anomalies. This was due to the rare persistence of a small vitelline artery. Although the incidence of fourvessel umbilical cord is rare, its presence should mandate comprehensive workup for associated anomalies.
