Abstract
Stillbirth affects a large proportion of pregnancies world-wide annually and continues to be a major public health concern. Several causes of stillbirth have been identified and include obstetrical complications, placental abnormalities, fetal malformations, infections, and medical complications in pregnancy. Placental abnormalities such as placental abruption, chorioangioma, vasa previa, and umbilical cord abnormalities have been identified as causes of death for a significant proportion of stillbirths. In the absence of placental abnormalities, the gross and histologic changes in the placenta in stillbirth are found when secondary to other etiologies. Here we describe both gross and histologic changes of the placenta that are associated with stillbirth.
