ABSTRACT
This case involves a pregnant patient in her late 20s whose pregnancy was complicated by placentamegaly and early-onset, severe fetal growth restriction (FGR). Investigations ruled out genetic and infectious aetiologies. The pregnancy eventually was further complicated by abnormal umbilical artery blood flow. Shared decision-making with the patient and obstetrical team led to delivery by caesarean section at 28 weeks and 4 days. The baby was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit but, overall, did well. Placental pathology revealed a massive subchorionic thrombohaematoma (MST). This case highlights the importance of early detection, evaluation and management of pregnancies complicated by severe FGR as well as the significance of shared decision-making with patients. We aim to increase the awareness of MST in the differential diagnosis of placentamegaly, as this finding in combination with early and severe FGR has been shown to be a poor prognostic factor for the fetus.
