Quick Summary:

• Placenta Membranacea (PM) is a very rare condition involving the placenta. It may be observed in women of any age groups and is associated with placenta accreta and placenta previa
• The placenta is a thin membrane-like organ and covered with chorionic villi (tiny units of placenta) that connects the developing fetus to the uterine wall. It is a disc-shaped red-brown structure that connects the fetus to the mother through the umbilical cord
• The normal function of placenta is to supply nutrients and oxygen to the fetus from the mother’s blood and remove wastes from the fetal body
• Normally, during development of placenta, the chorionic villi in the decidua membranes (thick layer of modified uterus lining) get atrophied or wasted away. This does not take place in Placenta Membranacea as the chorionic villi remain without differentiation and cover almost the whole gestational sac (fetal membranes)
• Placenta Membranacea can cause complications during delivery for the baby and mother. It can be managed effectively under the supervision of experienced clinicians, if diagnosed promptly during pregnancy. However, the prognosis can be highly variable and depends on the individual’s specific condition and associated complications
