Short umbilical cord syndrome is an abnormality that consists of a short umbilical cord, an abdominal wall defect, and frequently severe scoliosis. Usually, the fetus has a normal karyotype. The authors report a case in which the fetus carried a maternally derived balanced translocation (Robertsonian, 13, 15 45XY, der 13;15) (q10;q10), a short umbilical cord (4 cm), and cystic hygromas.
