Abstract

Subchorionic placental cysts occur in up to 5% of pregnancies. Large and numerous placental cysts increase the risk for intrauterine growth restriction. We describe a case with large multiple subchorionic placental cysts complicated by intracystic hemorraghe and fetal growth restriction.

Keywords: intrauterine growth restriction; placental cyst; pregnancy; ultrasound.
