Antenatal diagnosis of VP has resulted in excellent outcomes. However, there are little data available on the false positive rates for the antenatal diagnosis of VP. Improving accuracy of the diagnosis of VP can potentially improve outcomes and reduce unnecessary intervention.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title><jats:p>To assess our accuracy in the diagnosis of VP, examine our false positive diagnoses of VP and suggest strategies during antenatal ultrasound to aid in the antenatal diagnosis of VP.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Material and Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We conducted a retrospective descriptive study of women diagnosed with VP antenatally over 11\u00a0years at a single tertiary hospital and eligible patients were identified from obstetric databases. All medical records, including ultrasound reports, were reviewed and compared with the placental histological findings and both operative and midwifery documentation of the cord insertion.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty\u2010three women (25 babies) were diagnosed with VP and underwent a caesarean section delivery at a mean gestational age of 36\u00a0weeks.
