The biochemical and physical duet of the mother and the fetus in the formation of the placenta is one of the most carefully orchestrated phenomenons in the fetal development. A thorough examination of placenta is neglected and often under estimated by the physician gynecologist, pediatrician and pathologist inspire of its invaluable role in the fetal development. Ultrasonographic examination of placenta is a important part of obstetrical evaluation of pregnancy. With advent of ultrasonography antenatal evaluation of placenta have become essential in high risk pregnancy as fetal problems and neonatal outcome depends upon status, growth and abnormalities of placenta. With ultrasonography the obstetrician can quite clearly visualize and locate the placenta repetitively and presumptively with complete safety throughout the gestation. Here I am presenting ultrasonographic findings of 50 pregnant ladies in different gestational periods ranging from 9 weeks to full term were subjected for per abdominal ultrasonagraphy for placental parameters like location, thickness and echo texture of the placenta with relevance to grading. It is observed that the placental thickness increased from 17.3 mm in first trimester to 33.5mm at full term. The placental grading is recorded as grade-0 in first trimester, grade-I -II in second trimester and II-III in third trimester. Out of 9 in I trimester 6 are in anterior position and 3 are in posterior position. In II trimester out 30 cases 19 are anteriorly located, 8 are in posterior and 3 in fundal position. In all the 50 cases retro placental clots were not noticed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
