title: Premature infant with severe periventricular leukomalacia associated with a large placental chorioangioma: a case report.
abstract: We present the first reported case of severe periventricular leukomalacia associated with a large placental chorioangioma. We believe that the large chorioangioma near the point of umbilical cord insertion was not only disrupting fetoplacental circulation but may also have led to the periventricular leukomalacia lesions.
