Funisitis is inflammation of Wharton's jelly, the connective tissue of the umbilical cord. It is typically seen in conjunction of chorioamnionitis.
General
- Usually seen together with chorioamnionitis.
Microscopic
Features:
- Neutrophils in the vessels of the umbilical cord and Wharton's jelly.
Note:
- Wharton's jelly = connective tissue of the umbilical cord.
DDx:
- Umbilical cord vasculitis - neutrophils only in the vessel wall.
Grading funisitis
Funisitis:[1]
- Focal inflammation.
- Diffuse inflammation.
- Necrosis - in umbilical vessels or Wharton jelly.
