placentomegaly
______ appear as hypoechoic areas in the placenta and may mimic venous lake or subchorionic hematoma
fibrin deposits
______ is a condition in which the placenta completely covers the internal os of the cervix
complete placenta previa
_____ is a condition in which the inferior edge of the placenta lies adjacent to the internal os of the cervix
marginal placenta previa
______ is a condition in which the inferior edge of the placenta partially overlies the internal os of the cervix
partial placenta previa
A _______ placenta is one which is located in the lower uterine segment but does not reach the edge of the internal cervical os
low lying placenta
Placenta _____ is the adherence of part of all of the placenta into the placental wall beyond the decidua basalis
accreta
Placenta ______ is the invasion of the myometrium by the placental tissue
increta
Placenta _____ occurs when the placenta penetrates through the uterine wall and serosa
percreta
The risk of placenta accreta is _____ when the patient has placenta previa
increased
The presence of accessory lobes of placental tissue which are connected to the main placenta by blood vessels is called
succenturiate placenta
When the placental membranes attach to the main surface of the placenta rather than the margins, it is called
circumvillate placenta
_______ is associated with thickened, folded placental margins, retroplacental hemorrhage, premature rupture of membranes, premature labor, and placental abruption
circumvillate placenta
______ is a separation of the placenta from the uterine wall
placental abruption
_____ occurs away from the margin of the placenta
