Gasparella M, Zanatta C, Ferro M, Marzaro M and Zoppellaro F

This report describes the case of an intestinal laceration secondary to clamping of an unrecognized umbilical cord hernia in a newborn female. This accidental complication is extremely rare, but it should be borne in mind when clamping at the time of delivery of every newborn, especially in the presence of anomalies or associated structures within the umbilical cord.
