Vasa Previa
Anu Grover [2] | Karandeep Kaur [2]
Abstract: Vasa previa is a rare obstetrical complication with the high risk of fetal death or demise if these are left unrecognized before the rupturing of membranes. It is sometimes be asymptomatic but there can be sudden onset of abnormally heavy or small amounts of vaginal bleeding which is painless which usually occurs in the second or third trimester of pregnancy. It is important to rule out this problem as early as possible and when it is diagnosed prenatally it is very helpful to treat it comfortably without any fail with different conservative managements.
