Fetal Isolated Single Umbilical Artery (ISUA) and Its Role as a Marker of Adverse Perinatal Outcomes.

Single umbilical artery (SUA) is considered an ultrasound marker of anomalies. Although it may be present in about 0.5% to 6% of normal pregnancies, it has been linked with an increased risk of fetal growth restriction (FGR), as well as cardiac, genitourinary and gastrointestinal malformations and chromosomal anomalies such as trisomies 21 and 18.
