Q

Pathogenesis of EOD in PIH

A

Placental Ischemia - due to high resistance in maternal spiral arteries less blood comes into IVS so blood flow to fetus is reduced.
Inc inflammatory mediators cause Hemoconcentration and capillary leakage leading to Edema and Platelet dysfunction causing thrombosis in blood vessels leading to EOD.
