Three-dimensional HDlive imaging of an umbilical cord cyst

In this report, we demonstrate the novel visual depiction of UCC in utero with three-dimensional HDlive imaging, which helps substantially with prenatal diagnosis. A case with an abnormal placental mass at 16  weeks and 5 days of gestation was observed in detail using HDlive. HDlive revealed very realistic images of the intrauterine abnormality: the oval lesion was smooth with regular contours and a homogenous wall at the site of cord insertion on the placenta. In addition, we confirmed the absent of u mbilical cord, placental, and fetal structural anomalies. Here, we report a case wherein HDlive may have provided clinically valuable information for prenatal diagnosis of UCC and offered a potential advantage relative to the conventional US.
