LACUNZA PAREDES, Rommel Omar; GERE VILLALBA, Arturo  e  PANDIA ESTRADA, Eduardo. Prenatal diagnosis of vasa previa type 3, a case report. Rev. peru. ginecol. obstet. [online]. 2023, vol.69, n.3, 00015.  Epub 16-Out-2023. ISSN 2304-5132.  http://dx.doi.org/10.31403/rpgo.v69i2557.

Vasa previa is a rare condition in which the umbilical vessels are found to run in the vicinity of the internal cervical os. It is usually associated with velamentous insertion of the umbilical cord, placenta succenturiata, low placenta insertion and in vitro fertilization. Early diagnosis in the second trimester has important perinatal implications because it reduces neonatal mortality. We present the first case of prenatal diagnosis of vasa previa type 3 (a little known variant) reported in Peru in a pregnant woman with placenta previa and undiagnosed until the third trimester.
