Antepartum ultrasonographic evaluation and management of placental chorioangioma. A case report.
Chorioangiomas are usually small and found by careful sectioning of the placenta. In recent years ultrasonography has been used in antenatal diagnosis. Multiple and large tumors (greater than 5 cm) are associated with increases in fetal morbidity and mortality. We treated a woman who had severe polyhydramnios and a large chorioangioma with vascular channels in the tumor confirmed by Doppler studies. Daily fetal breathing was used to monitor fetal well-being.
