Gross morphometry of human placenta in eclampsia.
The study was done to see the gross morphologic changes of placenta in human normal pregnancy and eclapmsia, with the aim that it would be able to increase the general body of knowledge regarding the gross morphology of normal placenta and the changes that occur in eclampsia in our population. Total of 45 (n=45) placenta, 25 (n=25) from eclampsia and 20 (n=20) from normal pregnant cases were collected from Gynaecology and Obstetric Department of Mymensingh Medical College & Hospital (MMCH). Study was done in Anatomy Department of Mymensingh Medical College (MMC). Macroscopic study of the formol saline fixed placentas revealed that, compared to the controls there was trends of lower weights and volumes of placentas in eclamptic group. Statistical significance of difference between two groups was calculated by using Students "t" test. A difference between the two groups was considered to be significant when p<0.005.
