Antepartum diagnosis of vasa previa is of critical importance because of the high fetal mortality rate in unrecognized cases. This report describes the sonographic findings in 2 cases of vasa previa and demonstrates that transperineal sonography with Doppler evaluation can successfully establish the diagnosis of vasa previa prenatally.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010920 Placenta A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM.
