Abstract: Umbilical cord, a narrow cord of tissue that connects a developing foetus with the placenta. Umbilical cord abnormalities are numerous, ranging from false knots to vasa pravia, which often leads to foetal death. An abnormal umbilical cord coiling index includes both hypo coiled cords (cords with an umbilical cord coiling index which is < 10th percentile) and hyper coiled cords (cords with an umbilical cord coiling index which is > 90th percentile). As per many researchers, an abnormal umbilical coiling index has been reported to be related to adverse perinatal outcomes..........
