Maternal moality is not seen in Vasa Pre whereas fetal moality is seen. Vasa Pre: The unsuppoed umbilical blood vessels in Velamentous placenta lie below the presenting pa and run across cervical os. The vessels are torn either spontaneously or during rupture of membranes. Color Doppler is helpful in antenatal diagnosis Fetal moality is high (50%) due to fetal exanguination.
