A single umbilical artery (SUA), or two-vessel cord, results from the absence of one of the arteries surrounding the fetal bladder. Typically, 2 arteries are present and contribute to the more common three-vessel cord. The absence may involve either the right or left umbilical artery. SUA has a 0.6 to 1% prevalence during the fetal anatomy scan. It has been associated with fetal renal and cardiac anomalies, as well as low birth weight.
