JE-Placenta Weight 149g (3rd-5th centile) Cord 5-8mm diameter Variable appearance of villi- oedematous stroma, syncytial knotting Avascular sclerotic villi Suggestive of fetal thrombotic vasculopathy MCS no significant growth Sent for FISH: Mosaic Monosomy X (36%), probe for chromosome 16 not available
Challenging dilemma Extreme prematurity at diagnosis Early onset, severe IUGR Aetiology of IUGR Risks in utero vs perinatal Timing of delivery Surveillance
Severe early onset IUGR 0.4% of pregnancies Varying outcomes EFW <501g, GA< 30/40 and AREDF: FDIU 53%, overall survival 14%, good intact survival TRUFFLE EFW<550g Placental dysfunction is amenable to intervention Delivery 2% median survival gained per day between 24-27/40 GA 29+2 best predictor for intact survival Multinodal foetal surveillance

Foetal surveillance and delivery Perinatal mortality is 5.5x higher if both FH and DV PI affected (SB 1/52 after) Monitoring: raised UA 2/52, brain sparing 1/52, AEDV 2x/52, 2-3x/7 raised DV PI Thresholds for delivery for 27/40 and EFW<500g vs 27-37/40 (DV, bPP, FHR) Steroids
Confined placental mosaicism At least two cell lines with different chromosomal complements Only placenta affected Occurs 1-2% viable pregnancies studied by CVS (50% confirmed in placenta) Mostly autosomal trisomy

Outcomes Conflicting Likely depends on genomic imprinting, number of placental cells, specific chromosome Association with idiopathic IUGR 35% of CPM if high aneuploidy 20% of idiopathic IUGR have CPM Prenatal loss-MC, FDIU, perinatal (22%) Long term studies: short stature
Specific CPM Monosomy X: normal phenotype, (45X/46XX/46Xi(Xq), 45X/46XY, 45X/47XYY) Trisomy 16: severe IUGR, pre-eclampsia, fetal anomalies Other chromosome associated with IUGR 2, 3, 7, 8, 12, 13, 15, 18, 22 Monosomy X: first case was CVS diagnosis with female XX 3600g, second TOP with foetal cells 46XY, third TOP with foetal cells 47XYY
