Large Placenta and Small Foetus at Early Gestation Predicts Foetal Growth Restriction due to Placental Dysmorphology

Abstract

When placenta appears large on ultrasound, there are certain differential diagnoses to be kept in mind. We present a series of three cases in which large placenta was observed in first trimester scan. All three pregnancies resulted in Foetal Growth Restriction (FGR) associated with placental morphological abnormality.
