There are no recent case reports published in the literature detailing the anesthetic management of a case of umbilical cord prolapse (UCP). We describe the successful anesthetic management of a 36-year-old multiparous patient who was rushed to the operating room for a cesarean section following the diagnosis of UCP immediately after a controlled amniotomy for arrest of cervical progression. Amniotomies are common and safe procedures done in order to augment labour, of which cord prolapse is a rare complication. Immediate delivery is the optimal management.
