This course focuses on the sonographic evaluation of the normal and abnormal placenta, offering insights into placental development, morphology, and pathologies. Placental conditions such as previa, accreta, abruption, and chorioangiomas are examined, with emphasis on the role of ultrasound in detecting these abnormalities. The course includes specific techniques for identifying various placental conditions, including the use of color Doppler to assess blood flow in lesions like chorioangiomas and to detect complications such as fetal hydrops or polyhydramnios. It also covers the impact of placental abnormalities on fetal development, especially in cases like intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). The curriculum also highlights the relationship between placental dysfunction and common complications in pregnancy, such as preeclampsia and elevated maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein levels.
