description An actual knot that forms during pregnancy is known as a true knot of the umbilical cord (TKUC) which is seen in 0.3% to 1.2% of pregnancies. TKUC is noteworthy because it can lead to a variety of adverse perinatal outcomes, including infants with low Apgar scores, small for gestational age (SGA) fetuses, fetal hypoxia, and also in some cases fetal death. Here, we present instances of TKUC of three patients and the various associated perinatal outcomes.
