The cyst might be solitary or numerous (more frequent). While single cysts are attributed to favorable perinatal outcomes during the initial stages of pregnancy, the presence of numerous different umbilical cord cysts, their persistence in the second and third trimesters, and their conjunction with other ultrasonographic anomalies are linked to a higher probability of a miscarriage, aneuploidy, or other complexation. The majority of the material on postoperative complications and treatment adherence of foetuses with umbilical cord cysts is minimal. We wanted to show the result of a third-trimester foetus with an isolated umbilical cord cyst. Due to foetal distress, the baby was delivered by emergency caesarean surgery at 39 weeks gestation. The infant seemed fine and cried immediately. It should be taken into account that large umbilical cysts, in the event of rapid proliferation, may pressure the cord vessels and cause foetal discomfort. It is essential to consider the ultrasound examination of the umbilical cord as one of the essential aspects of the test. In addition, it is advised to ascertain that a karyotype is necessary when we discover this issue with related abnormalities.
