Background:The placenta is responsible for the nutritive, respiratory and excretory functions of the fetus. It is often overlooked in the routine evaluation of the normal gestation, receiving attention only when an abnormality is detected. Aim of the work: To determine the prevalence of sonographically thick placenta and the relation of thick placenta to fetal & maternal outcome. Patients and methods: prospective study included 25 pregnant women with thick placenta, attending to El-Hussein Obstetric outpatient clinics, as group A. 25 pregnant women with normal placental thickness were included as group B. US examination was recorded at 2nd and 3rd trimesters. After delivery, the placenta was weighted in grams.

“…In the current study it was found that, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between sonographic placenta thickness and foetal weight yielding a Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) of 0.902 for second trimester and 0.856 for third trimester within a P value of 0.001. This is in accordance with other documented Nigerian studies conducted by Abu and colleagues 31 and that carried out by Adeyekun et al 32 It is also in consonance with the study conducted by Maryam Afrakhteh et al 33 with 250 pregnant women (in Tajrish, Tehran, Iran) and Daskalakis et…”

Background: Placental thickness (PT) is the easiest placental dimension to measure, yet little is known about the normal PT. The aim of this study was to determine the normal, sonographically measured PT in millimetre (mm) in the second trimester and to determine if this measurement can be adjusted for gestational age for that time and evaluate its relationship with femur length and biparietal diameter of the fetus.Methods: The study was a cross sectional observational study, recruiting 100 consecutive, singleton pregnancies, reporting for ultrasonography (USG) between 14 weeks and 24 weeks of gestation, having undergone at least one ultrasonogram in the first trimester, with known last menstrual period (LMP). The placental thickness was measured perpendicular to the uterine wall, through the placenta at the site of cord insertion.Results: The average age of study population was 24.96 with a standard deviation (SD) of 2.70 years with the minimum age being 18 years and maximum age being 32 years. Regression analysis yielded the following mathematical relationships between PT, Gestational age (GA), Biparietal diameter (BPD) and Femur length (FL) in the second trimester. Y(PT)= 0.9366x (Gestation age)+1.655, R2 = 0.7332; Y(PT)= 0.2872x(BPD)+6.9578, R2= 0.7314; Y(PT)=0.2995x(FL)+ 10.03, R2 = 0.6186Conclusions: PT in present study showed a positive linear correlation with gestational age, FL and BPD in second trimester. Also, it can be concluded that PT may be used as a predictor of GA in women with unknown LMP.

Correlation between placental thickness in the second and third trimester and fetal weight

Abstract: According to our study, birth weight has a positive relation with both second and third trimester placental thickness; however, placental thickness change could not predict low birth weight.
