Problems of distinction of normal, arteficial and pathological structures in mature human placental villi. III. Morphometric studies in rhesus incompatibility (author's transl)

Sections of human placental villi which were up to 80 micrometer in diameter were examined light microscopically and morphometrically. The villi were obtained by taking an aspiration biopsy of the attached placenta from 20 normal patients at term and from eight patients delivered at or before 37 weeks because of varying degrees of rhesus incompatibility. The distribution of three histological types of villi was determined. The intermediate villi from patients with erythroblastosis showed an increase in number and volume matching the severity of the disease. The intermediate villi also showed an increase in the amount of cytotrophoblasts, in the amount of materno-fetal diffusion surface area, in the thickness of syncytium, and in the number of Hofbauer cells. The terminal villi were not affected by erythroblastosis and the mature end villi showed a relative decrease in number. To obtain these results an optimal fixation technique was required.
