The Indian Journal of Pediatrics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A case of stricture of the umbilical cord of a foetus about 33 weeks old has been reported. It was located 1.5 cm away from the umbilical attachment.

There were a few islets of haempoietic foci at and about the site of the stricture.
