We aim to convey the challenges in diagnosing this condition by presenting 2 cases of pseudo vasa previa diagnosed antenatally as vasa previa using standard and color Doppler ultrasonography.

These reports emphasize that accurate identification of vasa previa on cervical imaging is important for determining an appropriate treatment strategy.http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2014/903920
