[Placental chorioangioma and fetal abnormalities]

We report on a postpartally decreased girl with several malformations: turricephalus, deep root of the nose, prognathism, choanal atresia, low-set dysplastic ears, fourth additional blood vessel originating from the thoracic aorta. Nearly 70% of the placenta consisted of multiple chorioangiomas. A possible correlation between fetal malformations and placental chorangiomas is discussed. There is no valuable reference to a hereditary component in the development of chorioangiomas.
