Villous hypoplasia
Diagnosis in short

Distal villous hypoplasia. H&E stain.

Synonyms terminal villus deficiency, distal villous hypoplasia

LM small & round villi (30-60 micrometers), "long" villi (due to lack of branching), absence of syncytial knots, wide intervillous space
Gross usu. small placenta
Site placenta

Associated Dx IUGR, small placenta
Clinical history small fetus
Prevalence not common

Villous hypoplasia, also distal villous hypoplasia, is pathology of the placenta associated with intrauterine growth restriction.

It is also known as terminal villus deficiency.[1]

General

  • Associated with IUGR.[1][2]
  • Atypical Doppler flow measurements: high Doppler resistance index.[1]

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • Small, round villi (30-60 micrometers).
  • "Long" villi (due to lack of branching).
  • Absence of syncytial knots.
  • Wide intervillous space.

- THREE-VESSEL CORD WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.
- PLACENTAL DISC WITH VILLOUS HYPOPLASIA.

COMMENT:
THE PLACENTAL FINDINGS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH INTRAUTERINE GROWTH RESTRICTION.
