Abstract
The case is reported of a baby boy with an interstitial deletion of th e long arm of chromosome 13 who, in addition to the described associat ions of Hirschsprung's disease and intestinal atresia, had umbilical c ord ulceration resulting in massive intrapartum haemorrhage. This case provides support for the existence of a previously reported associati on between umbilical cord ulceration and intestinal atresia, and sugge sts that it is aetiologically heterogeneous.
