Abstract
Aim: To study the demography, maternal and fetal causes of chorangiosis. Study design: A retrospective descriptive study. Place and Duration of Study: Total of 73 patients with chorangiosis were studied in Department of Pathology Saveetha Medical College, during the period of August 2020 and February 2021. Methodology: Study included 73 patients of placental chorangiosis. The clinical history and demographic data was obtained from the patient’s medical records. Thematernal and fetal causes were studied, and clinico-histopathological correlation was done. Results: This study includes 73 postnatal women, of whichthe rate of cesarean section was noted to be 69.8% and the mean value were obtained showed mean gestational age of 37.5 weeks, 70 live births and 3 neonatal deaths; mean placental weight is 480 grams and birth weight 3970grams. The mean 1 minute and 5 minutes APGAR score is reduced indicating the disturbance in fetal vitals immediately after birth. Conclusion: Chorangiosis is a rare illness, which is associated with an increased risk of prenatal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. So, it should be regarded as a key prognostic indicator of poor pregnancy outcomes and should be essentially reported in the histopathological evaluation.
