Abstract

Nuchal cord (NC) is defined as the umb山 cal cord being wrapped 360 degrees around the fetal neck. It is one of the most common complications of the umbilical cord and any pregnancy might be complicated with a nuchal cord. If a nuchal cord occurs in a preg­nant woman with decreased fetal movements, it should be considered to be at high risk, particularly for fetuses with multiple nuchal cords. We report a case in breech presentation with an excessively long umbilical cord (190 cm) which was complicated with five nuchal loops around the fetal neck and resulted in intrauterine death at the 37th week of pregnancy.
