2P - Placental Abnormalities Flashcards
The basal plate lies against the uterine wall which is divided into portions by what?
Cotyledons
This is the fetal surface of the placenta where the umbilical cord inserts?
Chorionic plate
What variant of the placenta has one or more disparately smaller accessory lobes?
Succenturiate
Which variants of the placenta poses a higher risk for hemorrhage due to formation of previa?
Succenturiate and membranacea
Succenturiate is more significant with fetal hemorrhage, uterine atony, hemorrhage and endometritis
This variant of placenta is characterized by having a ring shape?
Placenta membranaceae
antepartum and
postpartum hemorrhage and fetal growth restriction.
variant of placenta where Central portion of a placental disc is missing?
Placenta fenestrata
common defect - only involves villous tissues;
rare defect - Actual hole in the placenta
This placental abnormality is characterized as a placenta thicker than 40mm and May be secondary to maternal diabetes or severe
maternal anemia, or to fetal hydrops, anemia, or infection
caused by syphilis, toxoplasmosis, parvovirus, or
cytomegalovirus?
Placentomegaly
This condition happens when the chorionic plate fails to extend to its periphery?
Extrachoral placentation
This extrachoral placentation is characterized sonographically by double fold can be seen as a thick,
linear band of echoes extending from one placental edge
to the other?
Circumvallate
This extrachoral placentation is associated with increased risk for antepartum bleeding,
abruption, fetal demise, and preterm birth.
Circumvallate
This extrachoral placentation is shown with Fibrin and old hemorrhage lie between the placenta and
the overlying sheer amniochorion
Circummarginate
This maternal placental blood flow disruption is Caused by slowing of maternal blood flow within theintervillous space?`
Subchorionic firbin deposition
This maternal placental blood flow disruption is caused by Stasis of maternal blood flow around an individual villus and results in fibrin deposition and can lead to
diminished villous oxygenation and necrosis of
syncytiotrophoblast
Pervillous fibrin deposition
Cross section: small, yellow-white placental nodules
are within the parenchyma
This is the extreme form of perivillous fibrin deposition
Maternal floor infarction
Thick, yellow or white, rim with corrugated surface
that impedes normal maternal blood flow into the
intervillous space
An intervillous thrombus which is colored red is recent or old?
Recent
White-yellow: older
Intervillous thrombus is Not associated with adverse fetal sequelae
1st week of placental hematoma appear?
Hyper or isoechoic
1-2 weeks: hypoechoic
After 2 wks: anechoic
What placental hematoma is also called as subchorionic hemorrhage
marginal hematoma
Hematoma between the placenta and its adjacent decidua?
Retroplacental hematoma
Also called as Breus mole or massive subchorionic hematoma?
Subchorial thrombus
Fetal blood flow disruption where affected portions of the placenta become non functional and the affected parts are mostly the villi, This is mainly caused by preeclampsia?
Fetal thrombotic vasculopathy
Fetal blood flow disruption most commonly occurring during the third stage of labor when cord traction ruptures a vessel near the cord insertion?
Subamnionic hematoma
Condition wherein there is § Increased number of capillaries within terminal
villi?
Chorangiosis
Requires ≥ 10 capillaries to be present in ≥ 10
villi in ≥10 fields viewed through a 10x
microscopic lens
Increased capillary number in stem villi, but
terminal villi are spared
Chorangiomatosis
Linked with fetal-growth restriction and
anomalies
Calcium salts, when present in placenta are most commonly seen where?
Basal plate
Grading of placenta? Placenta is homogenous, flat, smooth with no calcifications
Grade 0
Placental grading? Placenta has echogenic stippling at the basal plate
Grade 2
