Spontaneous umbilical cord hematoma is a rare cause of fetal distress and intrauterine fetal death. The perinatal mortality rate approaches 50%. Various causes of the cord hematoma have been suggested as congenital abnormalities, short cord, trauma, cord around neck, torsion, syphilis, or postmature pregnancy. We have experienced one case of the fetal distress from umbilical cord hematoma, which is presented with a brief review of the literatures.
