I think Aubrie had a SUA. There was something unusual about the umbilical

cord and I think that was it.

,

if 30% of babies with a single umbilical artery have anomalies, that

means 70% do not. When we see SUA on a prenatal ultrasound, we look

very closely at the baby for any signs of possible problems, espcially

kidney problems. But SUA is not by itself an abnormality or a

syndrome. It is a finding that serves as a red flag telling us to

look for possible problems.

I would expect to see a hgher than average frequency of SUA in

babies with CHARGE, but it doesn't really mean anything.

Hi,

was diagnosed with SUA during a prenatal ultrasound. When she

was born not only did the umbilical cord have only one artery, it

was also extremely short.
