Severe transient cardiac failure caused by placental chorangiosis

Giant Chorioangioma of the Placenta as a Cause of Maternal, Foetal, and Neonatal Complications

Chorioangioma is a benign placental neoplasm seen in about one percent of all pregnancies. The larger neoplasms generally cause severe foeto-maternal complications. We are reporting a case of a 33-year-old gravida three para two female who was incidentally diagnosed with chorioangioma at her routine 28-week antenatal follow-up. She delivered a preterm small-for-gestational-age female baby at 34 weeks with complications. Therefore, an early diagnosis warrants a close follow-up and timely intervention for a better outcome of the pregnancy.
