Vasa previa is a rare and infrequent prenatal finding of hemorrhage in the second half of pregnancy, in which umbilical vessels devoid of Wharton's jelly interpose between the fetal presentation and the internal cervical os. When undetected and rupture of the vessels occurs, it is associated with a high perinatal mortality rate. Three types are described; the case presented is type 1 vasa previa secondary to velamentous insertion of the cord. It was diagnosed prenatally by transvaginal ultrasound associated with color Doppler. A cesarean section was performed with favorable maternal and perinatal evolution.

Keywords : Vasa previa; Umbilical cord; Prenatal diagnosis; Ultrasonography; prenatal; Doppler.
