In recent days, at a renowned hospital in Campania, a woman from Nocera Inferiore gave birth to a newborn baby suffering from an extremely rare and complex pathology: an umbilical vein aneurysm. This obstetric condition, due to congenital thinning of the vessel wall, is generally associated with a single umbilical artery and various adverse perinatal outcomes, including chromosomal aneuploidies, growth delays, cardiac anomalies, and other fetal structural malformations.
The early diagnosis and careful management of the pregnancy were made possible thanks to the timely intervention and expertise of Professor Mario Polichetti, an esteemed specialist in gynecology and national manager of the Healthcare sector for the UDC. Professor Polichetti carefully and precisely followed the patient’s entire gestational path, ensuring excellent healthcare.
Umbilical vein aneurysm appears as a cystic dilation in close relation to the umbilical vein. This diagnosis was carried out by ultrasound, allowing constant monitoring of the condition of the fetus. The potentially lethal malformation pathology could cause sudden stillbirth. However, thanks to the experience and dedication of Professor Polichetti, the newborn was brought to light at an optimal weight and without any signs of suffering.
Professor Polichetti has once again demonstrated his extraordinary talent and profound knowledge in the gynecological field, offering the mother and newborn the hope of a peaceful life. His ability to manage such a delicate and complex situation represents a beacon of hope and an example of medical excellence for the entire community.
This happy event highlights the importance of early diagnosis and continuous monitoring during pregnancy, as well as the invaluable value of having professionals of Professor Polichetti’s caliber in our healthcare system.
