Challenges in Diagnosis of Pseudo Vasa Previa

Abstract EN

Vasa previa is a rare but clinically important obstetrical complication that can be associated with a low-lying placenta or placenta previa.

We aim to convey the challenges in diagnosing this condition by presenting 2 cases of pseudo vasa previa diagnosed antenatally as vasa previa using standard and color Doppler ultrasonography.

Both patients were falsely diagnosed; only a low-lying placenta was revealed after delivery.

These reports emphasize that accurate identification of vasa previa on cervical imaging is important for determining an appropriate treatment strategy.
