Placenta Succenturiata
- has one or more accessory lobes connected to the main placenta by blood vessels
- No fetal abnormality is associated with this type
- important to recognized because the small lobes may be retained in the uterus after
birth leading to severe maternal hemorrhage
small
retained
maternal hemorrhage
in placenta succenturiata, it is important to recognized because the ____ lobes may be
____ in the uterus after birth leading to severe _______
placenta circumvallata
- The fetal side of the placenta is covered to some extent with chorion.
- The UC enters the placenta at the usual midpoint and large vessel spread out from
there.
Battledore Placenta
The cord is inserted marginally rather than centrally
VELAMENTOUS INSERTION OF THE CORD
- the umbilical cord inserts into the fetal (chorio-amniotic) membranes outside the
placental margin and then travels within the membranes to the placenta (between the
amnion and the chorion).
- the umbilical cord is abnormally inserted into the placenta
- the umbilical cord inserts itself into the amniotic membrane rather than in the placenta
chronic amniotic
amnion and the chorion
in the velamentous insertion of the chord, the umbilical cord inserts into the fetal
(____________) membranes outside the placental margin and then travels within the
membranes to the placenta (between the _____ and the ______)
• Risk factors for developing a velamentous cord include having a two-lobed
placenta, uterine anomalies, and the fetus having a single umbilical artery.
• Advanced maternal age
• Having twins
• Pregnancies conceived with assisted reproductive technology like in vitro
fertilization (IVF)
• Prior abnormal cord insertion in pregnancy
RISKS FACTORS
• Small for Gestational Age
