Introduction: Introduction: The placenta accomplishes the functions through its unique anatomical association with mother. Placenta links the mother and fetus by interaction with maternal blood via uteroplacental vessels. Attention towards the uterine side of the placenta might explain inexplicable pregnancy complications. By the study of placental bed new information has come to light, especially for pre-eclampsia and intrauterine fetal growth retardation.
Aim: To study microscopic features of vaculosynctial membrane and synctial knot formation in pregnancy induced hypertensive and normotensive parturients .
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy and Pathology, Government Medical College, Patiala. The placentae were collected from gynaecological operation theatre, Rajindra Hospital, Patiala. Seventy five cases of pregnancy induced hypertension and twenty five cases of normotensive pregnancies were taken. An attempt was made to see any changes in histological features of placentae of pregnancy induced hypertensive cases and compare it with the normotensive placentae.
Results: The microscopic study showed significant paucity of vasculosyncytial membrane, increased syncytial knot count i.e. >30% in PIH placentae as compared to normotensive placentae (control).
Conclusion: Microscopic changes in placentae associated with PIH are due to occlusion or narrowing of the uteroplacental vasculature. The perinatal mortality and morbidity associated with this condition may be due to alterations in the uteroplacental flow.
