a Childbirth
Umbilical Cord Cyst
Cysts are identified through an ultrasound as early as the first trimester.
There are true cysts and false cysts.
True umbilical cord cysts contain cells that contain living tissue. They are remnantd from the early part of embryonic development. They can spontaneously heal themselves and disappear during the second trimester.
False Cysts
If the cyst is a single one, it usually heals by itself and dissolves. It is monitored for any complications though. The solitary cyst can vary from 15 to 25 mm in length with a diameter from 3 to 6 mm in the 8-9 week of gestational age.
When the cyst is monitored, it is often considered if the gestational sac and yolk sac,a s well as the fetal heart rate are within normal ranges for the gestational age.
Detection of cord cysts in the first trimester usually results in normal and healthy baby at delivery.
Multiple cysts often indicate a serious defect which can lead to miscarrage.
Keep in mind that most cysts disappear on their in the second or third trimester.
