[A case of diffuse hemangioma of the placenta].
The paper reports a case of diffuse placental hemangioma leading to intrauterine fetal death. Contrary to other cases reported in the literature, polyhydramnios, oligohydramnios and fetal malformations were not observed. The sole finding was a dilatation of the cardiac auricle, in particular on the right-hand side. It is hypothesised that fetal death was due to two concomitant factors: the severe hypoxemic state and the difficulty of venous drainage from the fetus to the mother owing to increased materno-fetal placental shunts.
