Vestiges of the omphalomesenteric or vitello-intestinal duct and the pathologic implications attributed to these remnants have been treated in great detail by several investigators. Persistence of the omphalomesenteric duct is associated with such conditions as Meckel's diverticulum, umbilical fistula, mucosal polyps, and sinuses or cysts of the umbilicus. Remnants of the duct in the umbilical cord, although infrequent, are located outside of the triangle formed by the two umbilical arteries and the umbilical vein, are usually discontinuous and are often represented by a small lumen lined by cuboidal or columnar epithelium. This study will examine the ultrastructure of these cells.

Despite the rapid technological advance, the expansion of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis, as well as the accumulation of experience by both domestic and foreign experts, prenatal recognition of true knots of the umbilical cord causes significant difficulties. Three cases of successful ultrasound diagnosis of true knots of the umbilical cord and brief review of the literature are presented.
