Morphology and morphometry of placenta in normotensives and hypertensives
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anatomy - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: The human placenta is a discoid choriodeciduate organ, which connects the fetus with the uterine wall of mother. Researchers suggest that placental surface area is significantly less in PIH, but none have mentioned the exact surface area. Objective: The aim of the study was is to assess and compare the placental parameters in normal and hypertensive cases. Materials and methods: 200 placentae were examined in the study. It was carried out at BRIMS Medical College, Bidar.100 cases with pregnancy-induced hypertension and 100 normal pregnancies were selected for the study. The present study included women in the age group 18-35 years. Morphological and morphometical parameters were assessed by using standard methods. Results: Round shape placenta was seen in most of the eclamptic cases whereas oval shaped placenta was seen in preeclamptic cases. Most common placental insertion was central followed by eccentric. Conclusion: Placental examination is important in evaluating perinatal clinical conditions. One should carefully examine and recognize the placental abnormalities that contribute to adverse perinatal outcome. Careful examination of placenta can help in the diagnoses of various clinical conditions, their timely management and prevent the life threatening complications.
