Placental chorioangiosis associated with foetal death--a case report.
A case of foetal death with retroplacental haemorrhage at 24 weeks gestation is reported, where the placenta histologically showed diffuse severe chorioangiosis. The latter is an infrequently reported placental vascular anomaly, which recent studies have indicated to be an important sign of neonatal morbidity and mortality.
