AbstractBackgroundUmbilical cord prolapse is rare but a very serious obstetric emergency. Its incidence has declined over time and significant advances in its management have improved perinatal outcome.Case presentationA 38-year-old woman (gravida 3, para 0) conceived a dichorionic twin pregnancy through in vitro fertilization presented at 21 weeks of gestation with premature rupture of membrane of the presenting twin. At 21+4 weeks’ gestation, cord prolapse of the presenting twin into the vagina was identified by ultrasound. Parents chose conservative management, and planned cesarean section was done at 27+4 weeks.ConclusionOur case demonstrates that conservative management with measures to reduce the risks of infection and a planned delivery can result in positive outcomes even in cases where the cord prolapse occurs prior to viability.
