- Abstract
Placental anomalies have been associated with a higher incidence of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Succenturiate placenta is a rare morphological abnormality of the placenta in which there are one or more accessory lobes connected to the main placental mass by blood vessels. We report the case of a 23-year-old woman who was referred to the prenatal diagnosis center at 20 weeks of gestation due to early fetal growth restriction. This pregnancy was also complicated by preeclampsia and placental abruption. Postpartum, there was an incidental finding of succenturiate placental lobe. The diagnosis of succenturiate placenta in the prenatal period is essential in order to allow an adequate pregnancy follow-up, as well as to avoid pre- and postnatal complications.
