Incidence is 1:1500
B

High-Yield Explanation
Vasa pre is a condition in which fetal vessels traverse the membranes in the lower uterine segment, crossing over the cervical os on front of the fetal head. Vasa pre complicates approximately 1 in 1000 to 1 in 5000 pregnancies. Perinatal moality ranges from 30% to 100%. The appropriate course of action is to deliver immediately caesarean section to prevent impending fetal demise. Ref: Wagner S.A. (2013). Chapter 18. Third-Trimester Vaginal Bleeding. In A.H.
