ABSTRACT
The authors analyze the main histopathological changes of placentas from pregnancies ended with fetal distress at birth and the tasks associated with diabetes. The parallel between the two types of placentas not trying to prove the existence of pathognomonic lesions. Are set out both the similarities between the two titles of placentas lesions (such as changes in microcirculation and so on) as well as particular aspects. The authors analyze a group of 19 pregnant women hospitalized in Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of Emergency County Hospital of Craiova, Romania, in September 2010-September 2011, who were born and who were diagnosed with diabetes. In the same period, were studied 21 pregnant women whose pregnancy ended with the birth of a child with fetal distress. Such were identified as placental lesions suggestive of fetal distress as diverse etiology of placental vascular changes and the placenta in pregnancy associated diabetes as immaturity and vascular edema and fibrinoid changes and glycogen stores. The authors have proposed to highlight some lesions suggestive of two groups of diseases but independent groups were analyzed and conclusions were drawn after discussing results. This study is justified by insufficient knowledge of the causes that lead to fetal distress regardless of its etiology. In conclusion, the authors mention both placenta's common changes as specifically changes of the placenta for each type of disorder.
