Abstract

Placental development is a complex process which sets the stage for normal fetal development. Any variation/disruption occurring during the initial stages of placental formation leads to placental malfunction causing increased maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality. The succenturiate lobe is a structural variation of the placenta that usually appears as a distinct lobe from the main placental mass. Succenturiate lobe is a rare placental anomaly, with high risk of fetal distress, hemorrhage, abruptio placentae and even fetal death because the vessels of this succenturiate lobe are vulnerable both to compression and laceration. Prenatal imaging diagnosis of this pathology improves the fetal prognosis through more careful surveillance and, in case of complications such as abruptio placentae, by shortening the time-to-decision making in favor of cesarean delivery. We present the case of a 27-year-old patient, without risk factors for placental abnormalities, diagnosed antenatally with succenturiate placenta, who presented at 34 weeks of pregnancy for abruptio placentae.
