Choriangioma of placenta – A rare case report

Abstract

Chorioangiomas are benign tumours of the placenta, characterised by AV shunting within placenta leading to fetal anaemia, cardiomegaly and hydrops. Maternal complications are also possible such as polyhydramnios, APH and Mirror syndrome. Chorioangiomas of a large size (> 4 cm) can create complications for the fetus and expectant mothers. Chorioangioma is often associated with unfavourable effects on the mother as well as on the fetus. The following article is the case report of a patient who presented with polyhydramnios associated with chorioangioma of placenta with Preterm premature rupture of membranes.
