Recognizing normal placental variants and abnormalities is crucial for accurate pregnancy management. This review covers placental sonography, variants, and pathology to guide clinical decisions.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Fetal Medicine
  • Radiology

Background:

  • The placenta is vital for fetal development.
  • Accurate interpretation of placental findings is essential to avoid misdiagnosis.
  • Understanding placental abnormalities guides pregnancy management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the normal sonographic appearance of the placenta.
  • To illustrate common placental anatomic variants.
  • To depict common placental pathologies and their clinical implications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of sonographic images of the placenta.
  • Correlation with gross pathologic and histologic specimens.
  • Discussion of clinical significance of placental findings.

Main Results:

  • Detailed description of normal placental sonography.
  • Identification and illustration of common placental variants (e.g., succenturiate lobe, circumvallate placenta).
  • Presentation of various placental pathologies (e.g., previa, abruption, accreta) with imaging and gross/histologic correlation.

Conclusions:

  • Sonographic evaluation of the placenta is key for identifying normal variants and significant pathologies.
  • Distinguishing benign variants from true abnormalities is critical for appropriate patient care.
  • This review provides a comprehensive guide for sonographers and clinicians managing placental conditions.
