Background Postpartum bleeding is a component of the normal physiologic process that occurs after delivery or miscarriage. Normally, bleeding decreases over the first postpartum week. When bleeding is excessive and uterine atony has been excluded as a cause, the next most common cause of postpartum bleeding is retained products of conception (RPOC). The placenta usually constitutes the majority...

Ultrasound has revolutioned the care of women carring twins. First trimester evaluation is the best time to determine chorioniocity and amnioniocity in multiple gestations. First trimester diagnosis is based on the number of gestational sacs, amnions and yolk sacs. Growth rate in multiple multiple gestations during the fist and early second trimesters parallels the growth rate of singleton preg...

OBJECTIVE To compare the incidences of preterm delivery, cervical incompetence treated by cerclage, placental implantation or retention problems (ie, placenta praevia, placental abruption and retained placenta) and postpartum haemorrhage between women with and without a history of pregnancy termination. DESIGN  A retrospective cohort study using aggregated data from a national perinatal regis...

Chorioangioma is a relatively rare benign tumor of placenta arising from chorionic tissue, with incidence being 1 in 100 cases. Giant vascular chorioangiomas render a challenge to obstetricians with their potential critical complications adversely altering feto-maternal outcome. Diagnosis is suspected antenatally by ultrasound and Doppler studies, and is corroborated by histopathology post-deli...

Background Invasive placenta is a rare obstetrical pathology that is life-threatening to mother and child. It is important to diagnose this pathology as early as possible and to plan further optimal care of patients in order to minimize life-threatening complications. The aim of this study was to analyze the frequency of cases of invasive placenta, the peculiarities of their clinical manifestat...

Retained placenta is one of the most common complications of preterm delivery and/or mid-trimester miscarriage. It is an important cause of increased maternal morbidity and sometimes mortality especially in developing countries. It is associated with several complications that could be tasking to the facility and of great challenge to the obstetrician. Here we present a very rare event in obste...

The author presents a case of in vitro fertilization pregnancy complicated by morbidly adherent placenta in a patient with congenital bilateral ovarian agenesis. A 31-year-old woman with congenital bilateral ovarian agenesis who had undergone two previous dilatation and curettage procedures conceived following in vitro fertilization with a donor egg. Spontaneous labor occurred at 38 weeks and 5...

Background: Placental Abruption is an important cause of antepartum haemorrhage. It defined as the separation placenta either partially or totally from its implantation site before delivery. APH a major maternal and perinatal morbidity mortality. Therefore study was planned to outcomes in patients abruption placenta. Methods: The present conducted department obstetrics gynaecology, SMGS, Hospit...

The development of a placenta is complex process that occurs without clinically significant issue in most pregnancies. At times, however, the develops way isolates an island placental tissue away from main body, connected only by unprotected vasculature within amniotic membranes. vessels this succenturiate lobe are vulnerable both to compression or laceration, threatening antepartum period with...
