Chorangiosis placenta with 5-vessel umbilical cord with omphalomesenteric duct remnant: An unusual association
Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 4
Abstract
Placenta is an organ that is responsible for nourishing and protecting the fetus during pregnancy. Histologic examination of the placenta can yield significant information about pre-uterine and uterine conditions affecting fetal growth. Chorangiosis is defined as the presence of ≥10 terminal villi, each containing ≥10 capillaries per terminal villus in ≥10 low power (×10) fields in at least 3 or more random, non-infarcted cotyledons of the placenta. Chorangiosis is an adaptive response to in-utero hypoxia and its presence signifies better pregnancy outcomes. Abnormalities that lead to multiple cord vessels are rare with the majority of reported cases highlighting four vessels due to a persistent right umbilical vein. We report here a case of chorangiosis of placenta associated with a rare 5-vessel umbilical cord and omphalomesenteric duct remnant. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report to document such an association.
