title: [Abnormal placental caryotype in severe intrauterine growth retardations (IUGR). Case report].
abstract: Except for cases due to maternal hypertension, severe and early intrauterine growth retardations are most usually due to fetal abnormalities. We report a case of confined placental homogenous tetraploidy associated with major fetal growth retardation leading to the premature delivery of a life born baby with a normal caryotype. We discuss the interest of chorionic villus sampling in cases of unexplained severe fetal growth retardation.
