Umbilical cord accident(UCA) is an emergency situation , as it threatens fetal wellbeing and or results into fetal jeopardy. Cord prolapse , cord compression, cord entanglement ,true knot formation , thrombosis and rupture of cord blood vessels are some of the known cord related causes of stillbirths .Twisting of the umbilical cord occurs less often than above mentioned cord accidents. Twisting of the umbilical cord leads to obstruction in the flow of blood in umbilical cord vessels leading to acute placental insufficiency and sudden fetal death.
