Abstract
Fetal Intraabdominal Umbilical Vein (FIUV) varix is a rare and important clinical situation requiring postnatal monitoring and characterized by dilatation of the intrahepatic or extra hepatic part of the intra abdominal section of the umbilical vein. Prenatal routine ultrasonography of two separate 30-week pregnancies indicated one intrahepatic and one extra hepatic intra abdominal umbilical vein varix. There was no other accompanying anomaly. The two fetuses were monitored until term. Without complications within 2-3 days postpartum the umbilical vein varices regressed in both cases.
