Paraumbilical Vein

Definition: The paraumbilical vein, also known as the vein of Umbilical Cord, is a blood vessel that connects the umbilical vein with the portal vein in the liver. It is present during fetal development but typically closes shortly after birth.

Examples:

The paraumbilical vein plays a crucial role in transport of oxygenated blood from the placenta to the developing fetus.
After birth, the paraumbilical vein undergoes natural closure as the liver takes over the main role in blood filtration.
A surgical procedure may be required if the paraumbilical vein fails to close properly, leading to the development of a paraumbilical hernia.
