Fetus or newborn affected by umbilical cord knot – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/202773234

In early gestation, the amount of amniotic fluid and length of the umbilical cord give the fetus ample room for movement. If the fetus swims through a loop of umbilical cord, this act creates a simple overhand knot.
