A member asked:

What are the long terms effects of single umbilical artery?

Dr. Nikolaos Zacharias answered

Specializes in Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Usually none.: Single umbilical artery is rarely associated with genetic syndromes such as trisomy 18 (edwards' syndrome), in which case it has long-term effects. 99% of the time it is a benign variant of the umbilical anatomy without any long-term consequence.
