Material and methods: This study was conducted in 200 patients with IUGR and 200 normal patients. Gross and histopathological features of placentas of both groups are studied, analysed by student t test and compared with chi square test. p value<.05 was considered significant. Results: Gross features weight, thickness and calcification in study show significant increase in value(p<0.05) compared to control group and histopathology of placenta also show significant increase in syncytial knots formation, cytotrophoblastic proliferation, stromal fibrosis and calcification in comparison to control group.
