CHORANGIOSIS PLACENTA

Chorangioma with Chorangiosis, Placenta: A Rare Entity of Clinical Significance

Placental chorangiomas are benign vascular tumours of placenta arising from chorionic tissue with an average incidence of 0.5-1%. Hypertension and diabetes are found more often in combination with chorangimas than they are in otherwise normal pregnancies. It is often associated with adverse clinical outcome like preeclampsia, IUD. Chorangiosis is characterized by an increase in number of small ...

Placental Chorangiosis: Increased Risk for Cesarean Section

We describe a patient with Class C diabetes who presented for nonstress testing at 36 weeks and 4 days of gestation with nonreassuring fetal heart tones (NRFHT) and oligohydramnios. Upon delivery, thrombosis of the umbilical cord was grossly noted. Pathological analysis of the placenta revealed chorangiosis, vascular congestion, and 40% occlusion of the umbilical vein. Chorangiosis is a vascula...

I-7: Maternal Signalling to the Placenta

Background: Though it is well established that maternal blood-borne signals influence highly the growth of the placenta, the mechanisms are not known. In vitro trophoblast culture models are limited by an inability to reconstruct the polarised bilayer of the human hemochorial placenta. We have used a first trimester villous tissue explant system to investigate how growth factors interact with p...

He had never found much benefit from the chlorate of potass. He mentioned a case in which much good resulted from a mercurial course to both father and mother, and he was of opinion that blue pill was...
