Introduction:Chorangioma is a rare primary vascular tumour of placenta with an incidence about 1% in carefully examined term placenta. Chorangiomas the past have been described as hemangiomas. Chorangioma benign, vascular, non-trophoblastic tumor plancenta that potentially threatening and can lead to hazardous feto-maternal catastrophy. Objectives: To analyse clinicopathological characteristics...

Objective: Placental chorioangioma is the most common non-trophoblastic vascular benign tumor of placenta, with an estimated incidence 1% all pregnancies. Most chorioangiomas are small asymptomatic lesions that found incidentally only postnatally during histologic examination placenta. Voluminous (>4–5 cm), however, less and more often diagnosed prenatally, through ultrasound imaging. Color ...

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 ...

Giantplacental chorioangiomas (CA) are benign tumors usually associated with unfavorable fetal outcome. The management of symptomatic tumors depends mainly on gestational age and fetal symptoms. Intervention aims to block the vascular supply to the tumor. Various methods have been described such as fetoscopic or interstitial laser coagulation, intratumoral alcohol injection, endoscopic ligation...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical characteristics of fetal hydrops and to find the antenatal ultrasound findings predictive of adverse perinatal outcome. METHODS This is a retrospective study of 42 women with fetal hydrops who delivered in a tertiary-referral center from 2005 to 2013. Fetal hydrops was defined as the presence of fluid collection in ≥2 body cavities: ascites, pleural effus...

A clinical study was done of 80 patients in whom abruptio placentae was severe enough to cause intra-uterine death of the fetus. Central venous pressure pressure was measured when ever possible to ensure adequate fluid replacement. Although the minority of the patients were shocked when admitted, blood replacement averaged 5 units per patient. The caesarean section incidence was 21%. Only 1 pat...

Perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) is estimated to occur in 1/1600 to 1/5000 births [1]. Even if rare, it is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in neonates. A meta-analysis showed that 57% of infants who suffer perinatal AIS develop motor and/or cognitive deficits, and 3% die [2]. Risk factors proposed for perinatal AIS include maternal prothrombotic conditions and pre-eclampsi...
