Introduction. The value of a single umbilical artery (SUA) in first trimester ultrasound is not well established. The aim of our study was to determinate the relevance of diagnosis of single umbilical artery in first trimester ultrasound as an early marker suggesting the presence of malformations or associated chromosomopathies.Material and Methods. Retrospective study of clinical cases of SUA diagnosed at the University Hospital Puerta de Hierro in Madrid (Spain) during the first trimester ultrasound between September 2008 and September 2012.Results. Prevalence of SUA was 1.1% in single pregnancies and 3.3% in twin pregnancies. Sensitivity, specificity, false positive rate, and false negative rate for the finding in the first trimester were 84.2, 99.8, 0.2, and 15.7%, respectively. 17.6% of cases had associated malformations. With an ultrasound in the 16th week most of the cases with significant fetal malformation were diagnosed.Discussion. SUA is a useful marker in the first trimester for fetal malformation pathology, as it will allow detecting a large number of cases with malformations before 20 weeks of gestation.

Future Management

The article by Froehlich and Fujikura1 on the prognosis of single umbilical artery is a much needed and highly informative addition to the literature. It presents a great deal of information and some important implications as to future management. We question the mortality rates quoted. They are given as percentages, and include stillbirths and neonatal deaths, i.e., perinatal mortality. The figure given as the general mortality rate is 3.8% or 38 per 1,000 births. Previous figures cited for perinatal mortality in the United States have varied from approximately 19 per 1,000 to approximately 26 per 1,000.2-4 We wonder how the figure of 38 per 1,000 was determined.
