▪ Vasa previa is a rare developmental disorder made up of two separate disorders. 1. First, there is a velamentous insertion of the umbilical cord. This is a condition where the umbilical blood vessels course through the amnion and chorion and meet to form the umbilical cord a distance from the placental surface. This places the fragile umbilical vessels at risk for tearing and haemorrhage. 2. A vasa previa is created when the fragile unprotected umbilical vessels cross the internal os and are in front of the presenting fetal head.
