Persistent right umbilical vein as a result of vitamin deficiency during gestation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Of the two umbilical veins formed in young rat embryos, the light regresses early while the left persists until birth. In a number of rat fetuses from mothers subjected to a transitory deficiency of pteroylglutamic ("folio") acid during pregnancy, this pattern was reversed and the right, instead of the left, umbilical vein persisted until birth. In such cases, the ductus venosus was always absent. No record of persistent right umbilical vein has been found in the literature.

متن کاملRole of ductus venosus in distribution of umbilical blood flow in human fetuses during second half of pregnancy.
Color Doppler sonography was used to study umbilical and ductus venosus (DV) flow in 137 normal fetuses between 20 and 38 wk of gestation. Hepatic flows were also evaluated. In all parts of the venous circulation examined, blood flow increased significantly with advancing gestational age. The weight-specific amniotic umbilical flow did not change significantly during gestation (120 +/- 44 ml. m...
