Objective: The aim of this study was to present perinatal results of cases with single umbilical artery (SUA).

Material and Methods: In this study, prenatally diagnosed 34 cases with SUA were evaluated between March 2006 and January 2011.

Results: The gestational age at diagnosis varied between 16 and 37 weeks. The mean maternal age was 28.1 years. Ten of the 34 fetuses had additional congenital anomalies. The incidence of SUA was higher in female fetuses than male fetuses. The incidence of major structural anomalies (29%) were found. Major anomaly rate of female was significantly higher than male.

Conclusion: Single umbilical artery, can be determined before 24 weeks of gestation. Early prenatal diagnosis and management is important for karyotype analysis and postnatal results. Detailed ultrasound examination should be performed for detection of additional congenital anomalies.
