Abstract: Vasa previa is one of the most unusual and tragic accidents to fetus in obstetrics. This condition is not diagnosed easily because it is rare and unexpected. To improve the perinatal outcome, early detection by ultrasonography is very important during pregnancy. We present a case of vasa previa with velamentous insertion of cord with a brief review of the literatures concerned.
