    Anomalies of The Placenta and Cord

    The document discusses several placental and umbilical cord anomalies that can lead to complications during birth, including placenta succenturiate (extra lobes connected to the main placenta), velamentous cord insertion (umbilical vessels not fully protected in the umbilical cord), vasa previa (umbilical vessels pass through the cervix before delivery), two-vessel cord (missing one umbilical artery), and unusually short or long umbilical cords. These anomalies can result in maternal hemorrhage, premature separation of the placenta, abnormal fetal positioning, or issues with fetal circulation if the umbilical vessels become compressed or tangled. Careful inspection of the placenta and

    ANOMALIES

    OF THE
    PLACENTA AND CORD
    The third stage of labor can also
    result in complication
    ANOMALIES OF THE PLACENTA
    The normal placenta weighs approximately 500g and is 15 to 20cm in
    diameter and 1.5 to 3.0cm thick
    It's weight is approximately one sixth that of the fetus
    Placenta may be unusually be enlarged when a woman with DIABETES.
    PLACENTA SUCCENTURIATE
    PLACENTA SUCCENTURIATE

    - A placenta that has one or more accesory lobes connected to the main placenta by blood
    vessels.
    - No fetal abnormality
    -If small lobes retained in uterus after birth after birth,lead to MATERNAL HEMORRHAGE
    -If the remaining lobe is removed from the uterus, the uterus will contract and no adverse
    effect.
    PLACENTA CIRCUMVALLA

    In placenta circumvallata the fetal side of the placenta is


    covered with some extent with chorion.

    PLACENTA MARGINATA
    -The fold of chorion reaches just to the edge of the
    placenta.
    -No abnormalities are associated with this type of
    placenta
    PLACENTA CIRCUMVALLA
    and
    PLACENTA MARGINATA
    CHORION- is a double-layered membrane
    formed by the trophoblast and the extra-
    embryonic mesoderm, which eventually will give
    rise to the fetal part of the placenta.
    BATTLEDORE PLACENTA

    -The cord inserted marginally rather than centrally


    -This is a rare anomaly.
    VASA PREVIA

    -In vasa previa the umbilical vessels of a velamentous cord insertion cross the
    cervical os and therefore deliver before the fetus.
    -The vessels may tear during cervical dilation just as placenta previa may tear.
    VASA PREVIA
    PLACENTA ACCRETA

    Is an unusually deep attachment of the placenta to the


    uterine myometrium, so deep that the placenta will not
    loosen and deliver.
    PLACENTA ACCRETA

    Attempt to remove it manually may lead to extreme


    hemorrhage because of deep attachment.
    ANOMALIES
    OF THE
    CORD
    TWO-VESSEL CORD
    V
    A A

    The absence of one of the umbilical arteries is associated with congenital heart and
    kidney because the insult that cause the loss of vessel may have also affected other
    mesoderm germ layer structure.
    AFTER BIRTH:
    INSPECT THE CORD DOCUMENT NUMBER OF VESSEL
    UNUSUAL CORD LENGTH

    An unusually SHORT UMBILICAL CORD can result to premature separation


    of the placenta or an abnormal fetal lie.
    An unusually LONG UMBILICAL CORD may be easily compromised because
    its tendency to twist or knot.
    UNUSUAL CORD LENGTH

    occasionally a cord actually forms a knot


    It is not unusual for a cord to wrap once around the fetal neck (nuchal cord), but
    again with no interference to fetal circulation.
    Anomalies of the placenta and cord
    (such as placenta succenturiara,velamentous cord
    insertion, vasa previa, and two-vessel cord)
    can lead to birth complications.
