title: Placental pathology casebook. Chorangiosis of the placenta increases the probability of perinatal mortality.
abstract: Two apparent acute problems that may occur in labor, nuchal cord and placental abruption, were associated with chorangiosis of the placenta. The importance of complete placental examination in perinatal mortality is re-emphasized. The association of apparent acute obstetrical conditions, e.g., nuchal cord and placental abruption with chorangiosis of the placenta, may be the cause of fetal-newborn deaths that were previously assumed to be issues of labor management.
