	~~#redirect~~ [[~~Placenta#Umbilical_cord_vasculitis~~]]		'''Umbilical cord vasculitis''' is a relatively common occurance in [[placenta\|placental pathology]]. It is thought to preceed [[funisitis]] and is closely related to [[chorioamnionitis]].

			==General==
			*Usually seen together with [[chorioamnionitis]].
			**May be described as the ''fetal response'' to chorioamnionitis.<ref name=pmid14749651/>
			*Presence considered to be a good prognosticator.<ref name=pmid14749651>{{Cite journal \| last1 = Lahra \| first1 = MM. \| last2 = Jeffery \| first2 = HE. \| title = A fetal response to chorioamnionitis is associated with early survival after preterm birth. \| journal = Am J Obstet Gynecol \| volume = 190 \| issue = 1 \| pages = 147-51 \| month = Jan \| year = 2004 \| doi = 10.1016/j.ajog.2003.07.012 \| PMID = 14749651 }}

			==Microscopic==
			Features:
			*[[Neutrophil]]s in the vessels of the umbilical cord.
			*Wharton's jelly without neutrophils.

			Notes:
			*Margination of neutrophils in the affected vessels is usually seen, and (in theory) precedes the development of vasculitis.
			*Umbilical vein involvement (umbilical phlebitis) precedes umbilical artery involvement (umbilical arteritis).<ref name=pmid21090086>{{Cite journal \| last1 = Vedovato \| first1 = S. \| last2 = Zanardo \| first2 = V. \| title = [Chorioamnionitis and inflammatory disease in the premature newborn infant]. \| journal = Minerva Pediatr \| volume = 62 \| issue = 3 Suppl 1 \| pages = 155-6 \| month = Jun \| year = 2010 \| doi = \| PMID = 21090086 }}</ref>

			DDx:
			*[[Funisitis]] - neutrophils are ''also'' in the connective tissue of the umbilical cord (Wharton's jelly).

			===Grading===
			Umbilical cord vasculitis:<ref name=Ref_Sternberg4_2311>{{Ref Sternberg4\|2311}}</ref>
			* +0.5 for each vessel.
			* +0.5 for each vessel with severe involvement.
