Placental insights into neurodevelopmental and other childhood diseases

Abstract

Deficient information regarding placental pathology has compromised epidemiological investigations of cerebral palsy, mental retardation, and other diseases. This article reviews light microscopic signs of low placental blood flow, fetal nucleated red blood cells, villitis (villous inflammatory lesions), chorangiosis (placental villous capillary hypervascularity), meconium staining, and chorioamnionitis. These findings can be used with data of birth weight, head circumference, and length to document the duration of fetal disease. The article includes pathophysiological considerations; for example, chorioamnionitis and fetal meconium discharge may cause autacoids to produce fetal hypoperfusion of the fetal brain and other vital organs.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
