It is characterized by extrachorial placental development, resulting in a ring formation along the edges of the placenta, which leads to efficiency impairment. As a consequence, it causes an intrauter- ine fetal hypotrophy. The fetal hypotrophic pregnancies are classified as high-risk pregnancies, requiring not only intensive monitoring of fetal development but also maternal and fetal care by the highest reference clinical center. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to analyze the case of a patient with circumvallate placenta and fetal hypotrophy suspicion. Material and methods: The study was based on the case study method. The data was obtained by analyzing medical documentation collected during hospitalization. The patient was interviewed and observed. All of the selected parameters were measured and scaled.

ABSTRACT The review of fetal appendices is described in the literature, and its importance is well established. Indeed, pathological findings in the placenta can provide information on the pathogenesis of the fetus, including intrauterine growth retardation, mental retardation or neurodevelopmental disorders. This helps to understand a child's disability, but also maternal complications such as preeclampsia. Despite the relevant information provided by the various studies, fetal appendices are not systematically examined in several maternity hospitals in our country, DR Congo.

  • Prenatal Ultrasonographic Diagnosis of Circumvallate Placenta
    Prenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis of circumvallate placenta Kirbas A, Uygur D, Erkaya S, Yakut HI, Danisman N Zekai Tahir Burak Women's Health Education and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey Objective Circumvallate placenta is rarely seen and it is associated with a high incidence of perinatal complications such as preterm birth, preterm rupture of membranes and placental abruption. We present a case of circumvallate placenta diagnosed prenatally by ultrasound in a 23 year old pregnant woman. Methods Case presentation. Results This lady was referred to our perinatology unit at 33 week's gestation for vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. There were slight vaginal bleeding and minimal uterine contractions. Ultrasonographic examination revealed a single live fetus compatible with gestational age and circumvallate placenta (Fig 1). She received two doses of dexamethasone for accelerating fetal lung maturation. Two days later she was discharged and informed about the risks. Two weeks after, she represented with premature rupture of membranes and bleeding. There was a severe abdominal pain with intense bleeding. She was delivered by emergency cesarean section due to a suspicion of placental abruption. A baby was delivered with APGAR scores of 6 and 8, weighing 2300 g at 33 weeks' gestation. The fetal surface of the placenta showed a marginal fold of the chorion and a projection of villous tissue beyond the edge of the chorion plate. The circumvallate placenta was obvious in macroscopic views (Fig 2). Conclusion Circumvallate placenta is a rare placental disorder occurring in approximately 1–2% of all pregnancies. In circumvallate placenta, the membranes of the chorion do not insert at the edge of the placenta but at some distance inward from the margin, toward the umbilical cord.

SUMMARY Up to 150 words summarising the case presentation and outcome (this will be freely available online) Spontaneous intra-amniotic haematoma is a rare cause of preterm premature rupture of the membranes (PPROM) but can have significant fetal and maternal consequences. It has been previously been reported to occur in the second and third trimesters but not in an earlier gestation. We present a case that presented acutely in the first trimester of pregnancy, which lead to early PPROM at 15 weeks and spontaneous preterm delivery at 28 weeks of gestation. There were no maternal complications during the pregnancy. BACKGROUND Why you think this case is important – why did you write it up? Intra-amniotic haematoma, in the absence of trauma or amniocentesis, is a very rare event. It is thought to occur due to either a subchorionic or subamniotic haematoma which dissects through the amnion and into the amniotic cavity.

Even in asymptomatic patients, preterm delivery is recommended in virtually every case to avoid maternal and/or fetal complications. Cesarean delivery is one of the most common of all surgical procedures, (+/- 30% USA) One of the consequences of increasing cesarean delivery rates over the last few decades is an increase in PIAs. This implies that we should not expect any reductions of preterm de-liveries due to PIAs in the near future. It is important to focus on strategies of how to improve the management of these patients.

Aims. To analyze the pregnancy outcomes of circumvallate placenta retrospectively and to predict circumvallate placenta during pregnancy based on its clinical features. Methods. The pregnancy outcomes of 92 women with circumvallate placenta who delivered live singletons at a tertiary care center between January 2000 and September 2012 were compared with those of 9057 controls. Results. Women with circumvallate placenta were associated with higher incidences of preterm delivery (64.1%), placental abruption (10.9%), emergency cesarean section (45.6%), small-for-gestational age (36.9%), neonatal death (8.9%), neonatal intensive care unit admission (55.4%), and chronic lung disease (33.9%).
