Obstruction of umbilical blood flow is a common cause of death in fetal nonhuman primates, but cord accidents have not been reported in the macaque. We describe two cases of cord accident in rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta ) resulting in fetal death at approximately 110 and 50 days of gestation, respectively.
