Succenturiate placenta diagnosed by ultrasound.
The succenturiate placenta is a morphological abnormality, the antenatal recognition of which is important as vessels connecting the main placenta with the succenturiate placenta may rupture during labor and fetal death may ensue. In addition, retention of the placental material may lead to postpartum hemorrhage. We treated 5 patients with a succenturiate placenta and the antenatal ultrasonograms and related discussions are presented herein.
