Abstract :
Background & Methods : This is a forthcoming kind of study and establishes the clinicopathological relationship of strange placental discoveries with pregnancy related maternal morbidities and related fetal result altogether preterm and full term pregnancies. Placentae from 80 conveyances of preterm and full term incubation were gathered from work room.
Result: The majority of cases (51.30%) in our study displayed low birth weight. Amongst the LBW neonates 35.50% of babies are associated with preterm deliveries and 14.47% were associated with full term pregnancy. Amongst the neonates with normal birth weight, 3.94% were associated with preterm labour and 46.05% were full term. There was no significant association between length of cord and period of gestation. The majority of cases showed eccentric attachment of cord with only 2.50% of preterm cases showing battledore insertion.
Study Designed: Observational Study.
Conclusion: The gross features of placenta varies significantly with period of gestation. Parameters such as weight, size, number of cotyledons and thickness of placenta decreases in preterm labour. The microscopic lesions observed in decreasing order of frequency were perivillous fibrin deposition (62.50%) followed by chorioamnionitis (26.25%), infarct (21.25%) and calcification (17.50%). Other pathological lesions includes villous oedema (12.50%) and retro placental hematoma (2.50%). All the histomorphological changes were conspicuous in preterm pregnancies. To prevent the maternal and child morbidity and
mortality the community based health education, care for prevention of anaemia and personal hygiene must be promoted more vigorously in rural areas of our country.
