She delivered vaginally a dead male foetus of 1.5 kg with a tight TKUC (Figure-1)
The umbilical cord is called the foetal life line.6 Various abnormalities are observed in the morphology and pathology of the umbilical cord but knowledge of them is rather poor.4 A TKUC may cause foetal hypoxaemia or even IUD.7 Umbilical cord true knots during the second trimester are a very rare cause of abortions7 though it is said that its presence during the third trimester and labour is not associated with increased perinatal morbidity and mortality.8
