“…49 Urgent cesarean delivery should be accomplished in cases of vaginal bleeding with suspected vasa previa. 23,52 Another area of uncertainty is the need for hospitalization. Inpatient management theoretically allows for timely delivery in cases of bleeding, rupture of membranes, or labor and could be lifesaving.…”

Placental disorders such as placenta previa, placenta accreta, and vasa previa are all associated with vaginal bleeding in the second half of pregnancy. They are also important causes of serious fetal and maternal morbidity and even mortality. Moreover, the rates of previa and accreta are increasing, probably as a result of increasing rates of cesarean delivery, maternal age, and assisted reproductive technology. The routine use of obstetric ultrasonography as well as improving ultrasonographic technology allows for the antenatal diagnosis of these conditions. In turn, antenatal diagnosis facilitates optimal obstetric management. This review emphasizes an evidence-based approach to the clinical management of pregnancies with these conditions as well as highlights important knowledge gaps.

“…These risk factors are represented by: the placenta inserted low, bipartita and multilobulate, aberrant cotyledon and the velamentous cord insertion (Carbonnel et al, 2007;Chmait et al, 2010;Gagnon et al, 2010). Indeed, in the presence of a velamentous y insertion of the cord associated with a placenta praevia, the incidence of vasa praevia is estimated at 1/50 (Hasegawa et al, 2011;Nishtar and Wood, 2012).…”

“…Indeed, in the presence of a velamentous y insertion of the cord associated with a placenta praevia, the incidence of vasa praevia is estimated at 1/50 (Hasegawa et al, 2011;Nishtar and Wood, 2012). Moreover, in many authors, in vitro fertilization (IVF) would be a risk factor, since it multiplies the risk by ten (Baulies et al, 2007;Chmait et al, 2010;Cipriano et al, 2010;Gagnon et al, 2010;Hasegawa et al, 2011;Nishtar and Wood, 2012). Of these, it would be desirable to carry out systematic screening in patients with risk factors.…”

Benckiser haemorrhage is a severe obstetrical urgency putting at risk the vital foetal prognosis with exsanguination. It is a common complication of velamentous cord insertion. It is revealed by bleeding concomitant with the rupture of membranes. Thanks to the Colour Doppler ultrasound progress, prenatal diagnosis is possible, allowing evacuating the foetus by prophylactic caesarean section. We report a new case of Benckiser haemorrhage in a pupiparous revealed by acute foetal suffering with favourable evolution. A review of literature allowed us to specify the diagnosis aspects and the treatment modalities in such a disease.

“…Expert opinion recommends timing delivery for vasa previa by C-section delivery is at 35-36 weeks [6] to avoid labor and potential rapid exsanguination. Furthermore, steroids at 28 weeks are suggested based on the higher rate of preterm delivery with vasa previa as well as hospitalization from 32 weeks onwards for quick delivery in case of vaginal bleeding [2].…”

Background: Vasa previa is a condition fraught with severe morbidity when undiagnosed at time of delivery. Case: A 25-year-old G4P2012 presented with preterm labor at 27 weeks. She was fully dilated and with the first push two independent vessels were coursing over the membranes; vasa previa was diagnosed. The patient pushed through two contractions to deliver a vigorous fetus en caul. The neonate did well, not requiring any blood transfusions during its neonatal stay for prematurity, and was seen for a well-child examination 4 months later, doing well. Conclusion: The mode of delivery for a known vasa previa is a planned Cesarean section (C-section), however if vasa previa is encountered in the labor room with quick progression of the second stage an en caul delivery could be considered.
